Silly question to most I'm certain: How many quarts ?
jack brand 1988 460

Since nobody answered can I guess? I would say 5 quarts with new filter and recheck?

Thanks Larry and Heidi.
jack !!!

I added 6 quarts to my 460 and replaced the regular filter with a 2 quart oil filter from NAPA.

Put 6 or so in, crank engine, run, shut down, check for leaks, give 5 minutes or so for all oil to drain back to pan, pull dipstick, wipe off, stick back in and pull out, and see if more is needed. NOTE: The 460 in the F250 I used to own took 7 quarts.

Once you have the magic number, write it down somewhere, along with the wrench size for the drain plug and the oil filter number, and put this info where you can find it again. I just take the flap from the oil filter carton, with the numbers on it, and write the wrench size and the amount of oil on the back of the flap, and hang it on the pegboard in the shop where the filter wrench hangs.

Same thing for V belts. Put on a new set, and hang the old cardboard slip holders from the v belts in the shop. Then buy a set of spares to keep in the coach.

I always keep a set of belts and filters in a vehicle that is driven cross country. Try finding a special belt at 2 AM in the morning in some far off back road area. Many moons ago several of us were pulling trailers on a long cross country trip. One of the F250's started pumping oil, the quick driver caught it by watching the oil pressure gauge, when the neeedle dropped, he shut down. The oil filter split at the seam. I just happened to have a spare filter and 10 qts of spare oil in my truck, also a F250 with 460. 20 minutes later we were on the road. The location? Half way between Spokane and Seattle way out in the wheat fields, Saturday night, 9 PM.
