4.5 quarts. Mobil 1 is fine. I don't have a star kit but I'd assume that the fiiting has 3 screw holes since there isn't anything else that goes into the pan.

The extra 2 holes are for the nuts and bolts that hold the adapter.

Well i used a good full 5 quarts of oil with new filter after the install of my HRC turbo. Not too sure on your oil pan holes, i only have one. I use mobil 1 synthetic 10W 30

Yeah 5 qrts of 10w-30 here. Ont hole is for the reurning oil, the other 2 for the bolts, like mentioned above. If you have factory foglights , say good bye to them now. be ready for some down time, have some extra hose around, and t's. Get ready to get really mad at the star guys and , I think thats about it, or what I would care to remember. Just ask.

5 quarts??? Isn't that too much. I've always put 4.5 ever since I was NA, I still do now that I'm turbo. I guess it's better this way, more oil. Didn't think it was possible to put a whole 5 quarts in.

Well only used 5 quarts right after the turbo install. Since then, only takes 4.5. Must have been because of no oil at all in the pan, ect..
