[Tigers] Tiger oil capacity w/non-stock filter

    It states right in the Shop Manual that 10 Pints includes the filter -
does not include the # of pints you personally consume.
 
You could increase or decrease the amount of oil by the change in size of
your oil filter but I find that a waste of time.
 
I have a smaller filter on my 260 engine and I just fill it with 5 qts.  The
extra amount in the sump does not concern me.

Guys:

 

I know that the shop manual says five quarts of oil (well, actually 10 U.S.
pints, to be exact) goes into the sump on the 260.  Does that number take
the oil filter size into account?  In other words, would you have to
increase or decrease the amount of oil you put into the motor if you used a
larger or smaller oil filter?  I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I've never
known the answer to this question.  Hopefully, someone out there can send me
to school.

 

Thanks much,

Andy Walker

Edmond, OK
