Including a filter change, the 4.0 L OHV, the 4.0 L SOHC, and the 5.0 L V8 all take 5 American quarts (4.7 litres) of oil according to the owner's manual. If it's motor oil it should take about 5 qts. or even 6qts. So put 4qts. of oil start your car so oil can level, About2 to3 sec. turn it off engine and check oil stick to see if it's full or it say's add a qrt. And you should be good to go
