4-6Engine SpecificationsNotes1) Minimum recorded compression in any one cylinder should not be less than 70% of the highest recorded cylinder.2) Measured using an accurate shop tachometer at normal operating temperature. Idle RPM on EFI models is not adjustable.3) Timing must be set using special procedures indicated in the appropriate service manual. Timing cannot be set usingconventional methods. Special tool(s) required.4) Always use dipstick to determine exact quantity of oil required. Do not fill above “FULL” mark.5) Do not over fill. Correct level is at the “Full Cold” mark on the coolant recovery bottle when coolant is cold.Engine Models 5.7L Carbureted 5.7L MPI 6.2L (383) LS7 LS2/LS3/LY6 8.1L MPINumber of Cylinders V-82009 Malibu EnginesFluid CapacitiesDisplacement 350 CID (5.7L) 383 CID (6.3L) 427 CID (7.0L) 364 CID (6.0L) 496 CID (8.1L)Crankcase (with Filter)4 5.5 Quarts (5.25L) with Filter 10 Quarts (9.5L)ZF Ski Vee Transmission4 2.12 Quarts (2L) Main Gearbox, 1.0 Quarts (1.06L) V-drive – Dexron 3ZF V-Drive Transmission4 4.2 Quarts (4L) Pennzoil 15W40Walter V-Drive 0.5 Quart (0.5L) Pennzoil SAE 30 Motor OilIn-Line 1:1 Transmission4 1.7 Quarts (1.6L) Dexron 3 ATF 4.2 Quarts (4L) 15W40In-Line Reduction Gear4 2.12 Quarts (2L) Pennzoil 15W40 4.2 Quarts (4L) 15W4014-16 Quarts(13.2-15.1L)Closed Cooling System5 12-14 Quarts (11.4-13.3L)Spark Plug Gap .030 in.
