Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) NV 5600 oil capacity

What is the capacity of a 2001 NV5600? TIA Mike

The 5600 capacity is 9. 5 pints assuming no fastcoolers etc. Change on level surface and fill till it comes out the fill plug hole works as good as anything.

To overfill it a bit, run both left wheels up on tire ramps . this lets you put in like almost 2 quarts over. .

I have the new Trans coolers and I have like 6 or 7 quarts so when it is tilted like that, I fill til it runs out... This seems to do pretty good for towing.

I would put in 8 qts through the shift tower. The rear main bearing needs all the help getting lube that you can give it. I started out with 11 qts but it was too much, 8 should be fine.

Godspeed,

Thanx to a dealer service in Sioux Fall... I found out the hard way that you can run one for quite awhile on 4 qts with Fast Coolers... . But once you get up to about 85 the trans will lock solid. So much for trained techs knowing how to check dipsticks.

Didnt know our six speeds had dipsticks!:-laf

Like I said in my last post... . With Fast Coolers you do.

Welp you got me, I didnt pay attention to your whole post with fast coolers so thats my fault. Ill def pay better attention next time!

2 gallons? Really? That's almost an entire gallon over a "normal" fill.
