Owners manual states the number of quarts in the engine is 6.5 with a filter change. I just put in 7 qts and do not worry about it. Have been doing this since I made did the first oil change on my 97 almost 10 years ago.

Thanks for the information. 
So does he just drive it up on all four and doesn't need a jack?
Never mind, I found the other threads. Thanks

I took 7 quarts of Mobil1 with me to my local Chevy dealership and it cost me $19.00 to let them change it. They even tried to give me back my 1/2 quart that was left over.

wow i know its probably pretty simple but id be pretty nervous backing my car up like that, id be so scared that i might go over the edge lol. I'm sure you get someone to watch you or do you that by yourself?
thanks guys! i was in canada and they were RIPPING ME OFF big time. i went to another chevy dealership in pittsburgh when i was there for xmas and they charged me 65 bucks. when i get time to save money 15 bucks i think for doing it yourself ill invest in those ramps and when i also get the ***** do back it up like that!
