I was wondering this same question but specifically for a 4.0L V-6? As most 30+ adults I took the easy route, but this one I am going to have to look up. Fortunately the owners manual was still in the truck when I bought it, so I will have a correct answer for you.
If you don't want to take the time to look it up email me @ rsdres@gmail.com and I will email you back with the answer to this, along with how many quarts? Since I couldn't find the answer to that one either.
Dont thank me thank GOD because he told me to do this,
MAY GOD BLESS YOU WHERE YOU NEED HIM THE MOST!
