How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?

I just got a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup truck. Runs great but of course I want to give it an oil change. Already changed all the filters (except oil filter).



I don't know how much oil it will need for an oil change. If someone can tell me and give solid reference to a reputable place, I would greatly appreciate it! I also need to know WHAT KIND of oil to use also.



Some notes: If I'm not mistaken, its a 305 V8 or something along those lines. I'm not sure how to find out this info, I was told 305 by the previous owner.How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?Between 4 and 5 quarts of 10W40 will get the job done.How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?i WOULD LOOK AT THE MANUAL IT HAS IT LISTED IF LOSTED LOOK IT UP ON THE INTERANATHow much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?Depends on the weather conditions - hot or cold weather-- Mileage on engine - normally 5 Qts. with a filter change..type of driving - highway - round town..How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?The oil capacity of most automobile and light truck engines from the 60's was five (5) quarts including the filter. If you are a little unsure, then I suggest that you remove and replace the filter, put in four (4) quarts of oil, run the engine for a few minutes to circulate the oil and then check the oil level on the dipstick. You will probably notice that you are low by about a quart. Add enough oil to bring the level up to the %26quot;full%26quot; mark on the dipstick.



By the way, the 302 engine was not available in 1964. If the truck had a V8, then it was probably a 260 or a 352. These engines are relatively easy to identify and tell apart; but in any event, they both probably only use five quarts with a filter change.How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?If it's a 302 Ford engine, it's been transplanted into the truck since it wasn't introduced until '67. The 305 is a SB Chevy engine.

If it's an original FE block, it's most likely a 352. Take a look at the intake manifold and see if it bolts to the heads under the valve covers - if so, it's an FE engine. I think the best thing for you to do is to find a mechanic who is familiar with the early Ford engines and ask him to take a look. A truck that

old may have had several owners and an equal number of modifications.

It sounds like a fun ride - good luck.How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?Five quarts. If it is the original engine it is a 292, an easy way to tell is look at the exhaust manifolds. If they are connected together with a pipe that runs across the front of the engine, it is a 292 (or possibly a 312).How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?a 305 is a chevy engine, its probably a 302, they put alot of 302s in vehicles back then and still do today. ok, about your oil. it probably takes at least 5 or 6 qts. with a new filter. about the oil, they are many types of good oil on the market, but quaker state is not 1 of them. myself, i have always used pennzoil 10w30 and never had a problem once with it, but also vavoline is good, havoline isnt a bad oil either.How much oil does a 1964 Ford F100 Pickup need in an oil change?got to autozone.com But It should take 6 quarts of oil with filter change. http://www.autozone.com/Action,specsSele

Click on the above link and then click on crank case capacity. If it is a V8 and original engine the it is a 4.8 Liter.
