A second search found this: https://www.amsoil.com/AmsoilGarage/...C+FIREBIRD+ S Lists a more reasonable 12.2 quarts. -- Andrew Muzi <www.yellowjersey.org/> Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

BUT that is for the 2.6 as the 3.1 wasn't in the Firebird as OEM until 1990. However it used the same amount of coolant in the engine itself. -- Steve W. |
