Engine oil for 3.0?
How many quarts of oil do you put into your 3.0??
If I can read correctly, the manual says 4.8 QTs??
Either way, the new oil is so clear that I am having a hard trouble seeing it on the dipstick to adjust it.
I put five quarts in.
Need a fast answer, please.

When I had my '90 with the 3.0, it would take 5 1/4 to 5 1/2 quarts (with filter change). I'd put 5 qts in then run the engine for a minute or two and then top it off after it sat for 5-10 minutes.

I put five in right now.
With sun light tomorrow, I'll double check and make any adjustments if need be.
I do remember putting 5.5 the last time but it seems too much.

Go by what the owner manual says.

4.75 is right on the money for me.. That is one of the things I like about my Wrangler.. 4 quarts.. Yep, I bought one of those gallon jugs (I only need one!) High end stuff for that baby too, I got a gallon for like $5.75 at the parts store the other day... but it has 185k on it and runs better than the 4Runner has in the last 2 years.
