How many quarts of oil does a 1993 ford ranger 2.3L v4 hold?

Answer 1

Mine's newer but holds almost exactly 5. You should fill filter as much as you can before you put it on, add oil to correct level on stick, allowing time to drain to pan, start just long enough to pressurize and circulate, then do final fill to proper level allowing ample time for drainage down to pan. They sell 5 qt containers which is easier and cheaper than buying by the qt, also makes it easier to dispose of the old. On an older engine like yours unless you have already been using synthetic for a long time, stay with mineral, it's thicker. You might even consider going to a slightly thicker weight than spec, depending on miles (promotes sealing)
