Hey, how come my 8 quart oil pan only took 6 quarts of Mobile 1??? I showed the
tech my owners manual that certainly says 8 quarts and he told me his "guide"
book tells him 6 quarts. (Texaco Express Lube Chain). He showed me the stick and
the level was at the full mark. I drove the 4 miles home, got on level ground and sure
enough, it is at the mark where it should be....Whats up with that??
Thanks

I don't get it either. When I bought my 2012 GT/CS, I changed the oil to Mobil 1 5W20 at a WalMart Supercenter lube express and the car took the whole 8 qts. That was the day before Christmas and I already put 2900 miles on the odometer and the oil level is still the same.
