Oil Remaining in Engine During Oil Change - Interesting Chart Showing Oil Capacities

[ripcord]

I've read on forums the 7.3 Powerstoke holds about 2 quarts of residual oil.

Oil changes are 15 quarts.

Yes, the oil in HPOP system does not drain out when you empty the sump. Some (retentive) guys suction out the HPOP reservoir when changing the oil in a 7.3l.

Residual oil during changes is pretty much a non-issue in my opinion.

Don't forget coolers. Hotter running GDI/Turbo cars with higher potential oil temps and now you've got manufs putting oil coolers on near everything whereas in days past it was usually only something you'd see on high performance cars.

My 2008 Subaru Outback 3.0 (flat six) uses the STI-style oil-to-coolant cooler. Oil capacity is 6.5 quarts, one of the reasons why those engines seem to last so long.
