Unhappy How much oil?
Everyone talks about what kind and all this other stuff but no one says exactly how much to use 4? 4.5? or 5 quarts? I really need to know so thank you to anyone who answers.

Gosh, you mean to say there's a book that tells you the engine oil capacity??? Wow, I bet it even tells the oil weight and everything? Maybe how to program the radio, use the AC, etc. etc.

Absolutely, RTFM. Providing answers to questions as fundamental as this, encourages ownership without responsibly following the manufacturers requirements.

How many warranty claims has GM paid where the cause was owners neglecting to RTFM.
