CAT (caterpillar) oil filter

[rottenronnie]

Wifey may be able to help here because it was years ago when this discussion last came up.
I do remember seeing a higher number in the manual of a 2006, which was a misprint.
Again, it was years ago but I've always used 8.5L with a filter change.
It takes 10 Liters (10.5 U.S. Quarts) after a rebuild to fill a completely dry 8.3L engine.
It doesn't help the sticks are notoriously hard to read.

Mine uses 8.5

I think diesels use 10.5

Okay so that's my take on the oil capacity from years of threads and from my own experience but if nothing else start low, give it time to get where it's gotta go then you can always add more.

Easier than removing it when you get it overfull lol
