How much oil/fluid?

[youngmanvr4]

I posted on another site but didn't get anygood info. I also searched but I came up with 5 different answers.

So, I'm going a SOHC to DOHC and a Auto to manual swap at the same time. I'm going to buy some oil(s) and fluids tomorrow. I need to know how much does the engine need (to the drop I mean )? Then how much for the trans? Also what grade? Like 75w-120? Or what?

Then I need to know what type and how much oil for the clutch lines? Do I just use brake fluid?

Also coolant and power steering? I would like to know to the drop how much goes in. That way I can pour in and dont have to check the dip stick ever qrote or less. A link to a online FSM would be nice but I ssearched and didn't find anything. But I'd also need to know what grade of transmission oil to use if there is a online FSM.

Thanks,Nate

Ok...sorry...I found the one sticky'd so I'm downloading it now. Hope it has the info I need.

But I do still need to know what grade of oil for the transmission and the clutch lines.

The FSM says 4 quarts. Not saying your wrong, I'm just wondering. On the FSM they say to use 75w-90.

Were both right, actually. The fsm for a DOHC says 4 qts without filter and 4 1/2 quarts with filter.

My DOHC takes like 3 1/2 with filter....
