How much oil in a 4.3 LX engine

[riverman]

I looked at all the manuals I have and could not find out how much oil my 4.3 engine takes, with filter. Any ideas

mine says it in the smaller engine manual that came with the boat. In the fluid specifications section. Is specifically says "Crankcase Oil (With Filter)"

year and boat might help get your some info.

Buy a gallon container and an extra quart. You may not need that extra quart, but you can keep it on board. I *think* you'll use right around 4 quarts.

Mine are 1996 4.3 LX's and use 5 quarts - that puts the level just a hair under the full mark. I have the remote oil filters so that may change my capacity some.

I have a 2001 4.3 it takes 5 Quarts.

I took the liberty of looking at some of your other post to see your have a 1991 220 DA - your welcome!
