How many quarts of oil does a 2001 monte 3.8 v6 take? 4 or 4.5? I did a search on here and wasn't successful. Thanks.

Let's throw up a little chart for future searches.

With a Filter change:
3.1L and 3.4L OHV = 4.0 to 5.0 quarts
3.4L DOHC = 5.5 to 6.0 quarts
3.5L = 4.0 to 4.5 quarts
3.8L = 4.5 to 5.0 quarts
3.9L = 4.0 to 4.5 quarts
5.3L = 6 to 6.5 quarts
