1990 and 1992 engine oil level?

[Greenleaf]

Anyone else notice that the 1990 engine requires 13 quarts to "Full" and the 92 is 12qt to "Full"?



Yet both are advertised as 12 qt capacity... ... ... ... ... .....



I have had both trucks for many years now and know this is not a fluke.

Oil full...

My truck (see below signature) has always needed just about 13-quarts with a Fleetguard 3552 filter. Its uses/vaporizes including "the spot when parked" from engine vent tube just about . 25-of a quart in 4000-miles. An old pizza pan keeps the driveway clean:-laf

I check mine in the same spot (inside the shop floor) and I know one is requiring more oil than the other.



Hummm... ... ..... I always use the same filter too. That couldn't be it.



I just changed the oil in the 90 a few weeks ago and am now getting around to checking the level inside the shop. This one always shows the same thing right after an oil change... ... ... ... ..... One quart low.

Yes my 92 does and i think the 93 does as well

Compare or switch dip sticks. Maybe one is mis-marked.

Wonder if it has to do with IC vs NON IC blocks. The 0804 block is different than the 91+ blocks.....

My early 91 was 12 qts.

 

[DVolk]

you figure a quart for the filter so 13 either way

My 98 never took more than 11 to read full. Yet my 04 takes 12 every time. I dont remember how much the 93 takes, but I recall it being more than the 98.
