I have done some fast oil changes in my time, But now that I think about it. If you do not drain the oil resivor, how much oil do you new to top it off with.

 

atleast 2, i did this a few times.

 

quarts thats cool, so their is about 1/2 quart in the oil resivoir.

Thanks

 

Total oil capacity on the DS is just over 3qt. The motor holds about 1qt and the tank holds about 2 qt. If your changing oil do both.

 

i always can fit 4 in mine...and it shows up on the dipstick perfectly??

 

Yes, 4 quarts is the correct amount.

 

Thanks for the info guys

 

Official capacity from BRP is 3.3qt and that is about max what I can put in both my 04's. I have never been able to get a full 4 quarts in. Be carful not to overfill!

Well, I should add that when I change my oil after draining the engine along with the remote tank I take the air compressor and blow through the tank filling the gaps around the compressor nozzlle with a shop towell to get a good seal and a good amount comes out of the engine through the drain plug. Doing this demands a full 4 quarts if not a slight bit more. A traditional oil change would more likely only need 3.5 give or take...

 

I allways drain the line from tank that goes under the rad. where it sags by removing it. essentially the same thing as blowing it through with air. I generally have a half quart or a little less left from a gallon jug. never needed a full gallon to fill.
