Re: Oil capacity

Depending on the size of V6 your Aerostar has, the 3.0 takes 4.6qts and the 4.0 takes 5.0qts.

Quick lube joints can be difficult for after service if anything goes wrong. You get what you pay for - never forget! I brought my dodge 5.9 R/T into an Oil Changers (new management has now taken over), and they filled it with 6qts of oil and charged me for the additional quart! I told them it only took 5 and the guy there arged with me in his broken english words that it took 6. So I pulled out the manual and pointed to the side of my truck at the "5.9" along the doors and told him the '4.7' engine took 6 quarts. After nearly half an hour they drained the oil and topped it up accordingly. Idiots. At least it wasn't as bad with a Mr. Lube here a couple years ago where the so called 'tech' (or kid), put the oil into the coolant reservoir on a lady's Taurus which had a coolant leak anyway, and topped up the windshield washer anti-freeze into the brake fluid reservoir! Quite the law suit that was.
