DD in a 7500... oil capacity? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

got me a 1975 H70 with a 6V53. Seems that straight weight oil is going to be a special trip to purchase at the bulk plant. now that is has been fired up and made a short trip, and got warmed up and circulated good I figured I would start with an oil and filters change. Anyone know right off how much oil this is going to take ? interesting that the dipstick show a 'F" and a "7" ( down a ways assuming this is and ad mark ?)

I believe that should be an "F" and an "L".

(Full and Low)

I can't remember how many quarts my 6V-53 took, but my little 2-53 takes 9 quarts.

Thank you Bill, the F and L makes makes more sense .... I had a reply on an other Forum where an old Motor manual said 14 quarts.... so the information you shared makes it sound in the correct "Ball park"

My GMC service manual lists 16 quarts with filter for the 6v-53.
