Oil question for Cummings 6BTA5.9-M3

[giantfan]

How much motor oil does this motor take?

I am splashing today and will be doing my oil and filter change myself for the first time. I am using Fleetguard filters and Rotella oil.

Just don't know how much oil I need to buy.

Can anybody give me an idea how much?

Thanks,

Ted

Ted,
mine take 15 quarts including the filter or a quart shy of 4 gallons. A couple of 5 gallon pails will do you fine.

Good luck,
