The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Oil capacity for 235?

6 quarts with the filter. And it really doesn't matter on the 235 if the filter is dry or not. It's a bypass filter (unless someone has modified the engine), and it is not in the line to lube the engine. Oil for the filter is tapped of the distribution rack, goes through the filter, and back into the engine. Not even that much difference if all the oil is pumped through the filter. When you start a full flow engine after a filter change there is enough oil left on the bearing surfaces to idle for a few minutes before any damage will occur. Do you ever fill the filter on your car when the filter is at an angle behind the exhaust manifold and above a wire bundle? Neither do I.
