2002 Chevrolet Camaro Oil Capacity
The 2002 Chevrolet Camaro’s oil capacity and recommended viscosity depend on the engine: the L36 takes 4.5 qt of 5W-30, while the LS1 takes 5.5 qt of 5W-30. Check which engine your Camaro has before using the capacity listed here; these figures are not interchangeable.
Read each capacity as the oil amount specified for that engine, and use 5W-30 for either engine. The difference shown for 2002 is the amount of oil: the LS1 figure is higher than the L36 figure. These facts do not specify whether a capacity includes an oil-filter change, so confirm the required amount on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual if that detail matters.
The listed figures apply to the 2002 model year and the two engines identified here. If your Camaro’s engine or model year differs, do not assume these capacities apply; confirm the correct oil capacity and viscosity on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
