Exact only when defensible
The built-in catalog lists oil specs only where the viscosity is a well-established manufacturer convention. We do not guess a capacity that changes by engine and trim.
Free oil type and capacity lookup
What oil does my car take?
Enter your year, make, and model, and add the engine or trim for an exact match. Where an exact, source-backed spec is in the built-in catalog, you see the viscosity and capacity with a link to the source. Where it is not, the tool says so and gives safe owner-manual steps instead of guessing.

Look up your oil spec
Type any year, make, and model. If the exact combination is not in the built-in catalog yet, the tool tells you and shows safe next steps.
How this lookup handles specs
Never fabricated
If the exact spec is not cataloged, the tool visibly says it is not in the built-in catalog yet and points you to your owner manual and dipstick instead of inventing a number.
Safe steps that always apply
Check oil cold, on level ground, use the dipstick, and fill a little at a time. These steps work for every car, whether or not the exact spec is cataloged.
Common questions
Why does the tool say my car is not in the catalog yet?
Engine oil capacity changes by engine and trim, even for the same year, make, and model. Rather than guess, the tool shows safe owner-manual and dipstick steps and tells you to confirm the exact spec in your manual or with a parts store lookup by VIN.
Is the viscosity shown always exact?
The built-in catalog only lists a viscosity where it is a well-established manufacturer convention for that application. Many modern engines accept more than one viscosity depending on climate and the manual. Always confirm against your owner manual.
How do I check oil safely without the exact capacity?
Park on level ground, let the engine cool, pull the dipstick, wipe it, reinsert it, then read the level. Add oil a little at a time, checking the level again, and never overfill. Use the viscosity grade listed in your owner manual.
Does this tool replace my owner manual?
No. The owner manual is the authoritative source for your exact engine, trim, climate, and capacity. This tool helps you get started and gives safe steps when the exact spec is not cataloged.
