What is the total oil capacity including the oil filter?

• A. 5 Quartz
• B. 6 Quartz
• C. 4 Quartz
• D. 7 Quartz

Answer: (D)

Total oil capacity including the oil filter is about the amount needed to fill both the engine sump and the new filter. The filter isn’t empty when you install it, so it holds its own portion of oil that has to be counted in the total. For this engine, the specification lists seven quarts as the total capacity with the filter. That means roughly five quarts in the sump plus the oil in the filter and passages, plus a little extra to reach the full mark once the oil has circulated. If you only filled up to the sump capacity, you’d be under the required total once the filter and passages are filled.
