![]() What you should be careful of is how you or your mechanics lubricate the O-rings. You need to protect yourself these days and anything can be an excuse to void a warranty. ![]() We suggest that you follow the official AT spec sheet and stick with 9 gallons unless you find out otherwise. We are not sure if they changed the oil filter or not or added any to that part when they installed it. There is some debate on this topic as some owners have put in up to 10 gallons while others have reached full with 9. ![]() If not, you should add some more oil about 1/2 a quart at a time till you reach the full line. When the 10 minutes are up, check the dipstick to see if you have hit the full line yet. You can do other maintenance work while waiting for that to take place. After that shut the engine oil off and let it all drain back into the pan. Put roughly 9 gallons of oil in the oil pan and start your engine and let it build up oil pressure. Then refill the oil filter, which takes about a gallon of oil, and attach it to the engine. The correct procedure to change your oil will be to drain what is there and remove the oil filter. If you do that, you can expect to see some blow by which makes a mess of the engine compartment. Others have said between 9 and 10 but you should double-check to make sure so you do not overfill your oil pan. Actual owners differ from this total though and have often said you need 10 gallons. 4 quarts x 9 gallons= 36 and you need 1/10th less than that. ![]()
