3.9 v8 - Oil Capacity
Hi Guys,
I am still having an issue with the oil "idiot" light coming on after my rover is warm and cruising - I had taken her to a local goodyear shop and payed 100.00 for a supposed High End (royal purple) 15w40 oil change and Filter -
While changing out the waterpump - I noticed the oil filter was a cheap off brand. I checked the paper work for the oil change and the tech that did the work wrote down 5w30 - I have less than 400 miles on this oil change but it's been 3 months since the work was done.
My question is - how much oil does the 3.9 engine take?
Going to go with the Shell 15w40 this time, and do the oild change myself.
Don't want to by 3 gallons is I only need 2.
Thanks for your input..

Just changed mine (4.0) and I use a jumbo oversize WIX filter, took seven quarts of 5W40 Rotella. Eric is right about fill up the filter, I counted 10 seconds before light went out without doing that (dumb and dry). But now light goes out as soon as I release the key, even before the brake light goes out.

Hi Guys -
I did the oil change - Using K&N Performance/Gold brand Filter - and Shell brand - 15w40 Oil..
I'm still experiencing an issue with the oil light coming on - I will create a different post to discuss possible solutions.
Thanks for all the input.
