Classic Chevy Oil Change Question Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting jharmke New User May 16, 2009, 6:30 AM Post #1 of 3 (2768 views) Classic Chevy Oil Change Question Sign In 1940 Chevy Master Deluxe 350 Crate Engine I hope this is a simple question for you guys. I love classic cars, but I am still a rookie. I have a 65 Impala and a 1940 chevy Sedan. I trust myself with the Impala as it is all stock and I have all of the specs. However, I am changing the oil for the first time on the 1940 Chevy Sedan. It has a crate engine, so I have no idea how much oil to add after removing the existing oil. Can anybody give me some tips on how to determine how much oil to add? Sorry for the "rookie" question, but I do not want to harm my new old car.

It can vary with different oil pans. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. jharmke New User May 17, 2009, 5:59 AM Post #3 of 3 (2749 views) Re: Classic Chevy Oil Change Question Sign In Thanks.
