Whats the correct oil capacity?

[red_dirt_runner]

I just changed the oil and I dont have the owners manuel so I dont know the correct capacity. I've been searching and have seen everything from 6-9 quarts. I dont know about all Tahoes, but I have the oil cooler on there so I assume it will be a bit more than normal. Any numbers?

Woah... now wait - u talkin about a 5.7l 350 motor? or a diesel motor?
-- now the 5.7l - it is around 5 - 5.5 quarts - with the oil cooler, i don't think it is much more - read the specs on the cooler itself

i get by with a 5 quart container every time i've changed my oil. uses almost all of it. i have the oil cooler on mine as well.

you can add and keep checking the dipstick until your at the correct level, that way youll now exactly how much she takes for next time.

ya put 5qts in, let it set on flat level ground for a few mins (about 10 or so) and check the dipstick.. wipe it down, stick it back in re-check it

Yeah sorry its a 5.7L. I stuck 5 quarts in seems to be fine. Thanks guys
