While owning a car, it is important to know the engines oil capacity. The oil capacity of this engine is 3.1 liters or about 5 quarts of engine oil with an oil filter change.
4.5 quarts, a typical GM oil capacity in I4 and V6 engines.
7 qts on the 4.2 liter engine.
5.9 quarts of synthetic motor oil meeting GM-LL-A-025 (capacity is 6.3 quarts or 6 litres but not all the oil drains out)
The oil capacity should be about five quarts. Try adding four during an oil change and check the level with the disstick. If it's still a little low, add another quart.

I BELIEVE it is 4 quarts. Put in 4 quarts, and then check your dipstick. I know 3100's and 3400's are 4.5quarts but the newer engine is different.

this is normal, when the car is cold or off. the oil sinks down in to the oil pan.,. If this is a GM engine you may be using an aftermarket oil filter that allows oil to drain back this is not a good thing and can cause engine damage. GM has a TSB on this very problem.
what size engine
The normal oil pressure on a GM 305 engine is between 40 and 60 PSI depending on the model year. High oil pressure is needed to allow for proper circulation through the engine.
