How much Oil for a 98 pathy?

[new4x4r]

I know this is a bit of a dumb question but, how much oil does everyone put in their 3.3 pathys? I think I remember reading somewhere something about 3.78L or something? Does it matter THAT much if I use all 4L? Thanks fellas!

3.7L for the 4wd 3.3L

 

And I wouldn't go over, remember when you drain your old oil you won't get it all out of there so it's already going to be over a bit.

FSM states 3.7L with oil filter. It's never recommended to overfill the engine as depending on the design, the crank may churn the oil, causing it to aerate and thus cause oxidation in the oil whereby it loses its lubrication properties. It may also cause foaming of the oil to occur. Additionally over filling can cause issues with seals and oil pressure. All worst case scenarios... in some cases it may just burn off...

 

 

That being said, it's difficult to say if the extra ~0.2L would cause that or not, I would be inclined to say no, but I would do your own due diligence and fill it only to the 'full' mark on the dipstick.
