How much oil???

Post by wide65 »

I am helping a customer. 1973 D-600 with a 361 Big Block. The dipstick is missing. He wants to do an oil change(and get a dipstick) but doesn't know how many quarts to add. I also am not coming up with much here. Any help would be great. Thanks!

My 413-3 (industrial, motorhome, medium duty truck) holds close to 9 with a new filter. Get a dipstick ordered, start with 7 quarts and a new filter, run it, cool it for a few minutes. Should be a good starting point.
