Default Oil capacity 94 1500 5.2L

I think I read it was 5 quarts 10w30 but I would appreciate clarification.

And is there a recommended filter?

WIX filter and anywhere between 5 and 6 qt's. Put the 5 in and let it sit and see where the level is on the dipstick an hour or so later.

Run it for a few minutes for oil pressure to come up, and fill the filter as well.....
