oil capacity

[Velon]

I have fresh weber stroker motor with girdle, how many quarts should I put in at oil changes, I've heard from 5-6qts. At 5 qts, the dipstick is on add and on 6 qts its on full, just want to make sure the right amount.thanks

I run 6 qts with a 52 filter. remember the girdle is 3/4 inch thick,so the oil pan is lower

Only 6? Better check it after start up and watch the oil pressure during WOT

my stock dipstick reads full with 6 qrts and girdled

So, shouldn't it read less? If the pan was higher the dipstick would read more. Mine takes 7 liters and sits on the add mark on my dipstick.

you must have one of those inaccurate metric dipsticks.. you need an american one for using quarts :biggrin:
