quick question

Anyone know what the recommended oil and capacity of the 300 i-6 motor? It will be driven in Northeast winters with temperatures reaching near zero. Thanks.

Should we read this question "quick",or reply "quick"?
6 quarts and anything from 0W30 to 10W30 should be fine.

K thanks, I looked everywhere but couldn't find any specs for that motor, and my truck didn't come with it's manual. A gallon and a half..wow. That's a buttload of oil. Even my V8 Grand Cherokee only takes about 5. I've always used 10-30 oil all year and no problems, but some motors have their quirks, can never be sure.
