New here and need to know how many qts of oil I need to put in a (new to me) 1977 Dodge Sportsman 27ft 440cu motorhome w/filter? After I changed the oil for the first time and put in 5qts to check and add as needed, the oil pump wouldn't even pick the oil up. I added 1 more qt and oil pressure went to 65psi,good. At 5qts the dip stick said full, at 6qts it said a little over full, must be wrong dip stick? After looking around the web I have found anywhere from 6qts to 9qts for this engine.
Thanks Harold in Florida
