Message	1. Add 0.25 quart of oil 2. Check dipstick 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 till dipstick reads correctly 4. Add up how much oil you put in Now that I'm done being a smart-ass, here are the capacities from AllData: :- 94 jetta 4cyl 2.0L 4.3 qt with filter :- 96 windstar V6 3.8L 4.5 qt with filter :- 98 astrovan V6 4.3L 4.5 qt with filter :- 99 grand cherokee V8 4.7L 6 qt (didn't say if that was with filter or not) "The more "F" and the less "m" you have, the more "a" you can get." -- Brian Beckman, The Physics of Racing
