Re: Engine Oil Capacity

This may confuse the issue even more but this clarification was published in a service counselor during the 22nd series and I believe it is also applicable to the 23rd series. Without the D suffix, capacity will be 6 qts.
The H suffix indicates the engine has the optional hydraulic lifters which were available on that engine starting, I believe, during the 22nd series and became standard later in 23rd series. The date should be in Bob Neal's book and typically with hydraulic lifters the optional filter was also installed.
I would suggest adding 6 qts, start the engine to fill the filter if there is one then stop the engine and check the dipstick. Add enough to bring to the full mark -- maybe a half to 3/4 quart after the engine has run long enough to fill a filter element and canister.
