Oil capacity - T6 S80 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Harris A. Berman on  Mon Nov 19 10:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'm confused with the oil capacity of the T-6 engine (7.3 quarts) in the manual and the amount of oil that can be added on an oil change (6.8-7.0). My dealer insists that 7.3 is what is required, but that sends the oil level over the max mark by a bit (1/4 inch). The dealer that my mother uses on her 2001 T-6 states that they put in 6.5 and that gets it to the mark. Who is right? Both are with the filter insert changed.

Will the slight amount of overfill on my car be injurious? I calculate that the min/max difference is 1.6 quarts over 3/4 inches. That would seem to imply that I have .5 quarts over in the system in my car.

Thanks

Harris Berman
