scottwetzel Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 ok I don't know if this topic is beat or not but does anyone know the correct oil capacity for a e6 350 engine, im taking with all new filters when doing a complete oil change? I can never get a straight forward answer. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36316-e6-correct-oil-capacity/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
85snowdog Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 This may not be strait forward either but….. When I change the oil in my E6, I always put 30 litres (7.92 US gallons) back in. Thats including the oil in the filters.I can't say for sure that is the exact amount. I put oil from a 5 gal can into a smaller container then into the truck. So there is some guessing involved... And if it is a Fri. or Sat. night there might be some alcohol involved. I based my us gal on….. 1 us gallon is 3.79 litres Keith 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36316-e6-correct-oil-capacity/#findComment-252450 Share on other sites More sharing options...

85snowdog Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Ok so we r thinking its about 8-9 gallons?I think you are in the ballpark - 34 quarts is 32 litres. That is what I always used to put in, but it would be a little over the full mark. Now I do 30 and check .Unless you have a big oil pan - then I can't help.All 3 of mine - even the 237 in my 85 take the same amount of oil. 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36316-e6-correct-oil-capacity/#findComment-252469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 if my math is any good its 8.5 gal. or 14.5 gal depending on filters/pan Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36316-e6-correct-oil-capacity/#findComment-252471 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I took mine to Speedco 3 filter (58qts) I brought my own Mack filterst, but I think there house filter is Baldwin. They charge the same for the small capacity or larger, so for me I could not buy the oil and jack around with for what the charge and you can stand in the bay and watch.
