Refill Capacities
Lubrication System
The refill capacities for the engine crankcase reflect
the approximate capacity of the crankcase or sump
plus standard oil filters. Auxiliary oil filter systems will
require additional oil. Refer to the OEM specifications
for the capacity of the auxiliary oil filter. Refer to the
Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Maintenance
Section” for more information on Lubricant
Specifications.

These values are the approximate capacities for the crankcase
oil sump (aluminum) which includes the standard factory in-
stalled oil filters. Engines with auxiliary oil filters will require ad-
ditional oil. Refer to the OEM specifications for the capacity of
the auxiliary oil filter. The design of the oil pan can change the
oil capacity of the oil pan.
Cooling System
Refer to the OEM specifications for the External
System capacity. This capacity information will be
needed in order to determine the amount of coolant/
antifreeze that is required for the Total Cooling
System.
