how much oil does an rx7 turbo 1989 take bought my car recently and it has no dipstick i just wanna try and get it going so wondered how much oil i should put in

cause i dont know how much is in so im going to drain then put fresh stuff in

also what sort should i get

my guess is about 5 quarts

for type

Using Synthetic Oils in Rotary Engines



as for the oil amount, it should be in here but i didn't have enough time to dig through it

Index of /main/factory_service_manual/1989_1991



best of luck!

When I had my 1988 I would use 4.5 qts for oil and filter change. It was non turbo but I think they take same amount for oil change.

I second 4.5.



I always put in 4 full quarts, then checked dipstick while intermittently adding 5th quart, so somewhere between 4 and 5.

actually if we are throwing numbers up then mine is 4.7 for my 87 N/A

thanks for the quick replys i put 4.5 in

And to state the obvious, get a dipstick!

Its actually 4.7 qts.

If it still has the oil metering pump. (and it still works) DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE OIL WEEKLY!!!!
