The engines displacement doesn't have any relation to how much oil is required.

funny... I thought "the smallest V8 (4.8) in a new truck" was pretty
clear.

Don't forget, GM used to make a 265 c.i.d. not sure on the liter size. The 265 was out of production long before we started referring to displacements |

I know that folks love the 350, but I still think that those early
small block v-8's (256-283-327) were some of the best, most dependable
engines made.. (and you could work on them without calling in a
plumber and electrician to get the smog crap out of your way)
