Sump capacities don't always get the proper credit for keeping a healthy engine on long OCI's. About 2 quarts per liter of engine displacement seems to be the sweet spot to start on having those long range OCI's.
My Clark lift has a 4.236 liter engine, and holds 2 gallons of oil. I get 750 hours out of that sump using UOA's and a full flow filter.
My Ram has 6.7 liters and holds 3 gallons. I would get 18k miles out of that sump using UOA's and a full flow filter.
Our E350 is a 3.5 liter engine and holds
NINE and a half quarts, and knocks out a very clean 14k mile OCI without a sweat.
I can only imagine laying under a truck waiting for 18 gallons to come out lol. Couple of guys did that next door to me. Filled 3 5-gallon pails, and part of another. hey had no idea what to do with it all, but I let them dump it in my bulk tank for a fee.
Do they use a transmission jack to drop the oil pan?
