STUPID QUESTION

Stupid Question#1 ( two part)
How many quarts of oil for an oil change on a 96 LT4, and how do your reset the "change oil" light
Stupid Question#2
what is an "Open Air Lid", is this something "home made" or do you buy this? ...and anyone have a pic of what it looks like? I have a K&N Air Filter but not an open air lid....and what does it do?

Re: STUPID QUESTION (Voltech_LT4)
Voltech, when I changed my oil and filter it took 5 qts. to bring it to the full line. If you have an owners manual it tells you how to reset the change oil light. I cant remember the sequence off hand but if you don't have a manual let me know and I will look it up.
The open air lid is your air filter cover. You can buy one or cut your own out. It is just a cover w/ the center cut out for better air flow. Ussually combined w/ a K+N air filter. Good Luck, Guy

Re: STUPID QUESTION (85vetteguy)
I thought you said 2 questions. I see about 5 there. :jester . You can make an open air lid by just cutting the front off yours. Just make sure you leave enough of it there to hold the filter in place.

Re: STUPID QUESTION (Voltech_LT4)
LT1 takes 4.5 quarts, not sure if LT4 is the same or more.

Re: STUPID QUESTION (Mr Mojo)
I think it says 4 or 4.5 in the manual but when I changed mine w/ the filter it took 5 to bring it to the max full line. Guy

Re: STUPID QUESTION (85vetteguy)
I just changed my oil and filter last weekend. 4.5 quarts brought it up to about half-way up the oil stick mark. 5 quarts brought it to the full (top) mark. Getting the old filter off (fram) was a pain in the tight quarters. But hopefully the K&N with the attached nut thingy will be easier.

Re: STUPID QUESTION (96GhostLT4)
I read some place that you need to add .5 qts to the LT4 is you are gonna be autocrossing...Damn I remember reading it but I can't find it. I know I am not dreaming that :lol:
