How much oil for my 1984 GTI?

[Motor Babe]

Hi there!

I'm changing the oil in my '84 Rabbit GTI, and was wondering how much oil goes in it. I misplaced my manual, so I'm hoping I can find out the amount from one of you.

Thanks in advance!

4 to 4.5 qts. Does this car not have a dipstick? Kinda what they are for.

It does have a dipstick, yes. However, the dipstick didn't really show any changes at all until around 3.5 quarts. My other car doesn't require nearly that much oil, though, so I was second-guessing myself.

Thank you for the (somewhat-sarcastically delivered) information.

put 4 qts in and see what it says. if it's to low it won't show on the stick, you know.

I changed her last night, and four quarts on the dot filled her up. Thank you!
