The 172s closer to 5 1/2 with filter (owners manual says 5 with filter but this is not quite enough to fill to the full mark). I usually let my engines drain overnight after pulliig the plug at operating temperature. I always remove the canister on the 8Ns for cleaninig, draining all of the oil in the process.

I usually dump in all 6 and go.. it may be a hair out of the crosshatch.. but has never caused an issue that I know of.. [Reply]  [No Email]

The NAA owners manual I have says 5 qts plus 1 qt for the filter so is this 1954 NAA manual incorrect or what. Note I say 1954 manual since it is not a reprint [Reply]  [No Email]

My reprint of the original Ford hundred series manual lists crankcase capacity with filter as five quarts but, as I said, all four of my 172s take about 5 1/2 quarts to bring the level to the full line.

Again this one is not a reprint so I will look at it later and see what it says [Reply]  [No Email]
