Sorry for this question ., how can I see if my motor is a tbi or cbi I was checking on the s10 forum and I think is tbi (what we call here in venezuela semiinjection) cbi stands for carburetor ??

regards

Very soon I am going to take some pictures of my blazer and little changes i've done and i will post it. Hey!!!! I am going to take also some pictures of my chevi nova 76 you will love it.

Is it W or Z in the vin?Do you have vortech under the hood does it say vortech everywhere?Do you really only pay 12cents a gallon down there for gas.

Thats a pic of my tbi.
Its CPI not cbi which is central port injection and tbi is throttle body injection here in the states.Look at the pic and if your motor bay looks somewhat like that then your tbi if not your cpi.

I don't understand why there is so much controversy about this. If you open up your factory issued owners manual(I realize not all may have one, but how hard is it to get ahold of one) like every car owner should do. Look under capacites, it will tell you how much oil your engine with or without the filter it will hold. Like for my 2002 it states clearly, 5.0quarts with the filter. So obviously it would be 4.5quarts without the filter. I just don't get how this can be disputed. Well you can continue arguing over .5 of a quart. Peace-

1/2 a quart can be the difference between air getting into your oil system and causing valvetrain tapping and noise and increased valvetrain wear.

If you have it too high and the crank slap the oil to much and intruces air into you system, you will be causing damage slowly.

Oh, I totally get that. I'm not arguing that because it is a known fact. What I'm saying is that all you have to do is look in the owner's manual and it will tell you, or call the GM dealer, etc... in order to find out what is the correct volume for your crankcase w/wo the filter. To me it seems like it is rediculous, to have this much controversy over something that has had facts from the manufacturer published in every owner's manual. Mabye I'm simplifing it too much, but i don't think so. Peace-

Sorry about that BlazerLT.

I have a '95 "W" and just changed my oil yesterday. I have always put 4 quarts in. Have to check it to see if it needs a little more.
