Message Okay so I've been reading a bunch of different places online so many different answers to this and I am hoping to get some help. I have a 91 300ZX TT. What is the correct oil capacity for it? A few people have said 3 5/8 and some have said 4+. I tried checking the oil after putting about 3 5/8 oil and for some reason I am barely getting a reading. It doesn't help that there is no space to take the dipstick out either but still. Any help on this could be greatly appreciated. Also - I have a consistent tick after starting the car. Anyone have an idea of why this would be? I thought that a ticking would mean its low on oil but not completely sure. It's driving my crazy. Thanks.
