Packard Forum Index » Pre-War (1899-1942)

For some reason I can not find a capacity chart in all my original literature for my 243 Packard 8 engine. Can someone tell me where I should look to find this information. Want to know the oil capacity when changing oil, Thanks, Allen

There should be a petcock on the side of the block that when the engine is filled with oil it will start to drain out there and that's when you know it is full. Much like filling up a rear differential case.

This is explained on page 20 of the owner's manual.

It also gives a total capacity of 8 quarts on page 9.
