1999 Chevrolet Camaro Oil Capacity

The 1999 Chevrolet Camaro’s engine oil capacity depends on which engine it has: the L36 takes 4.5 qt, while the LS1 takes 5.5 qt. Both engines use 5W-30 oil, according to the listed facts.

Read the capacity as the amount specified for that engine, not as a figure that applies to every Camaro. The L36 and LS1 have different listed capacities, even though the recommended oil grade is the same. Check which engine is in your vehicle before using the figure, and confirm the correct procedure and final level in the owner’s manual.

These figures are for the 1999 model year and distinguish the L36 from the LS1; they do not establish capacities for other years or trims. If your engine or oil capacity is not identified here, confirm the correct figure on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
