This probably falls under the category of a dumb question but...
The Operating Manual for my 6bta5.9M 315hp Cummins says the crancase oil capacity is 15qts. Does the 15 qts include the 1 qt that you pour into the oil filter when changing it? As I said, probably a dumb question but since the manual says the dipsticks are marked by the installer I do not fully trust them. 14 qts poured into the top fill plus the qt in the filter only comes up to slightly above the lower mark on the dipsticks after running the engines.
Second question - what is the no load RPMs for these engines?
Thanks for any help.
