What specific 235 do you have? If you know what vehicle it came in you might be able to access an owners manual or shop manual here. If you don't know what it originally came in post the stamped serial number and casting numbers and we'll try to help ID it.

And, it depends on the size of the oil filter, if you have one (and if you empty it when changing oil).
