* Engine Size: The amount of oil needed varies depending on the engine size. The 2004 Tribute came with a 2.0L or a 2.3L engine.
* Oil Type: Some oils are thicker or thinner than others, and the amount needed could be slightly affected by the viscosity of the oil.
* Oil Filter: The oil filter holds a small amount of oil. When you change the oil, it's important to replace the filter as well.
* Vehicle Condition: The actual amount of oil your engine holds can be affected by things like wear and tear on the engine seals.
Here's how to find the correct amount of oil for your 2004 Mazda Tribute:
1. Check your owner's manual: The most accurate information will be found in the owner's manual for your specific vehicle.
2. Look at the oil dipstick: The dipstick will indicate the maximum oil level. You can typically find the capacity on the dipstick itself.
3. Consult an online resource: Websites like the official Mazda website or a trusted automotive parts website can provide you with the oil capacity information.
Remember: Always use the type and amount of oil recommended by the manufacturer. Overfilling or using the wrong type of oil can damage your engine.
