oil capacities

[nakahama001]

just curious what the specs were on a 6.0-popcorn

 

[bushpilot]

oil capacity for 6.0 & the 6.4 are the same...15quarts (empty...bone dry)
refill requirements vary & are commonly found to be some where in
the neighborhood of 12-13.5 quarts.

The manual says 15 quarts with the filter change. However, some of us have found 14 to 14 1/2 is better. 4 gallons seems a little high. If over-filled, you will foam the oil and can experience parasitic drag. [crank shaft is hitting oil]

you can also experiance SURGING, rough idle if over filled

and once its foamed up ypu can expect higher water temps to
all kinds of bad stuff starts happening

i usually get about 14 in after a complete drain

So uh, F350DRW1, 15qts. is a quart shy of 4 gallons. . . just in case you ever poured in a full 4 gallons and had some problems.

I too add 15 qts of oil when I do an oil change....

I drain my oil when it's hot so most of it comes out.
