Ford Repair: oil capacity, brain fart, ford f150


Question
Just one simple question. On a 1986 Ford F150 with a 351 engine, how many quarts of oil does it hold? I am thinking 6 but want to make sure.

Answer
John-

  I must be having a brain fart at the moment because I can't seem to remember exactly.  For some reason 6 quarts sounds like a lot to me.  I'd start with 5 quarts, let it settle, then check the dipstick.  If it still looks a little low you can add more.  Hope this helps.
