WELL, I COULD KEEP TYPING IN MORE BUT ALL MODEL NUMBERS ARE 19.5 QUARTS EXCEPT FOR
8067 7740, 164, 5125668, 19
IF YOUR OPTION PLATE IS STILL ON ONE OF THE ROCKER COVERS AND READABLE IT SHOULD ALSO HAVE AN OPTION FOR YOUR DIPSTICK AND THE HANDBOOK HAS THE MEASUREMENTS FROM THE TOP OF THE DIPSTICK TO THE FULL MARK, THE MEASUREMENT FROM THE FULL MARK TO LOW MARK AND THE TOTAL LENGTH MEASUREMENT. HANDBOOK ALSO HAS PART NUMBERS FOR THE DIPSTICK OPTION TYPE. I CAN DO MORE HOMEWORK IF THE ENGINE MODEL NUMBER IS KNOWN.

Hi Overlander and thank you for all your typing, extremely helpful.
19.5 quarts is 18.5 litres, plus the filter capacity and what ever falls out when the filter is off. I put in 20 litres and it is showing about 1/4" down from full on the stick but I am yet to make sure it is on the flat and level when checking it.
I don't change the oil without changing a filter too, working for a major filter company makes that easy for me.
But I will very much lee in mind that about 20 L will be it.
Thanks again
