[GM Line Rat]

3.5 Qt's leaves my 1.0L 94 Metro a little low on the stick, but good advice here for a starting point. Start with 3.5 and check the stick after warming up the engine, then letting the car sit OFF for 10 mins . I pour approx 1/2 QT of oil directly into the new filter, then let it set for a min a soak the oil up, then install it and pour 3 Qt's thru the valve cover. After a couple of mins of run time to check for any leaks, I shut it off and let it set for 10 mins, then recheck the oil level.....My 94 Metro usually needs another 1/4 Qt of oil to top it off to the full line.
