How much Oil for a 95' Firefly Swift Metro

Jan 22, 2006 5 Replies

I just bought a used 1995 Ponitac Firefly 1.0 Litre. 3 cilinder There is no owners manual with this car.



Does anyone know how much oil to use on a complete oil change?



Many Thanks RR

by the way, you can pick up a used owner's manual for like $5 off ebay. There's a ton of useful info. in there.

Make sure it's full when you drain it and measure how much you take out. Or add oil gradually and keep checking the stick.

I plan to buy a used manual and wait the 4 to 6 weeks to arrive. The car needs a oil change desperately. I can't wait that long. Anyone just out there can take a quick peak in their owners manual? It would be greatly appreciated.

Buy 5 quarts of oil & a filter. Change the oil & filter - then add the three quarts and check the level, its very simple procedure to do and easy to figure out yourself.

Good luck

Per this link a machine of your vintage takes 3.5 quarts.
