To find the exact capacity for *your* specific engine, you should:
* Consult your engine's owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information.
* Check the engine's oil fill cap or dipstick: Some engines have this information stamped on them.
* Contact a Detroit Diesel dealer or service center: They can look up the specifications based on your engine's serial number.
Do not rely solely on general information found online. Always use the manufacturer's specifications to ensure proper oil levels.
