oil capacity

Just bought a 2019 F450 Class C V10--how many quarts of oil should I buy to change the oil?

    How much oil? I buy mine by the case at Costco....saves 50% over most other places...... Then I order filters from Amazon or WalMart.
  • IIRC it's about six or so quarts; if you get two five-quart jugs, you'll have plenty and some left for the next oil change. There should be a Ford owner's manual for the chassis with the motorhome that has details such as that.
  • From the Ford book . . .
