    2.5L vs. 2.25L - Oil amount?

    Trying to see how many quarts of oil the 2.5 holds vs. the 2.25....any difference?

      According to the wsm for the 2.5 it's 6L / 11pints
      I put in 4 & 1/2 quarts and was on the high side of the dip stick

          Nick,
          My 2.5 NAD holds between 6 and 6.5 quarts with a filter change. Did you change your filter when yo only had to put in 4.5 qts?

              Ben racking my brain on this one and just figured it out. The oil I used didn't come in a gallon - it was one of those gallon + 1 qt containers then I added another quart (maybe two, I dont really remember). I know the dip stick was (and surprisingly still is) on the high side of full.

                  Sounds like you figured it out. About 6 qts is good.

                      I don't have any info on the 2.5, but for my 2.25 I've always used 7 1/2 quarts for a oil change.

                      My shop manual says 13 pints plus 1.8 pints for the filter = 14.8 pints = 7.4 quarts.

                          I do have electronic (scanned PDFs) of the 2.5 WSM - someone here was nice enough to share them. I'm all to glad to do the same if anyone needs it.
