1994 w/ 302 oil ???

Folks,

Sorry for the stupid question but I just bought a 94 with the 302 and it didn't have an owner's manual. What type of oil do I need and what is the capacity? Thanks!

recommended should be 5w30. i use 10w30 in the winter and 15w50 in the summer for the extra protection. and it should hold about 5.5 to 6 quarts.

The factory recommended viscosity will be on the emission decal under your hood.

Thanks fellas. It's a beater that I only gave a thousand for, but after a good cleaning and a throttle position sensor it's already twice the truck that it was when I bought it. It needs a little front end work (tie rods, bushings, etc), but other than that it'll do the dirty work that I don't want to commit my Expy to. Thanks again. BTW, you guys have some nice trucks!
