I have a 2001 gt. The owners manual says five qts engine oil. If I fill any more than 5 qts, the car is overfilled and will burn oil.(so I know this to be the correct amount) However, From what I am told, other late model gt's require 6 qts. Is there a different oil pan used on 02 - up gt's?

Second question: I have orange injectors which are rated at 19#'s.
Another person I know has an '04 gt with PINK injectors. He said that they are rated at 21#'s. If he is right, then why the change? Are not the horsepower ratings still the same(260)?

Thanks.

My '04 calls for 6 quarts. Just add 5, then check the dipstick. If it's still low, keep filling, etc.

Your friend is correct, the pink ones are 21#'s. There's been some discussion about it recently around here, but I haven't heard any definative reason as to why they changed.

While on the subject of injectors, what size injectors do the Mach's have? I've never been able to find that info.

^You should go ask randystichcomb over @ modulardepot.com. He has his own forum section over there. He will know for sure.

My 04 also requires 6 quarts . And it has PINK injectors.
