Indmar Raptor Oil Change Question

bumping this old thread back to the top. My manual also says 6 quarts, but the overwhelming majority of people are saying it holds more. So how much is it?

Everywhere I've researched and also confirmed with my dealer, 8 quarts. I have the same boat as you.

The first year's manual for the Raptor engine had the oil capacity incorrectly stated at 6 quarts. The capacity in subsequent manuals was corrected to 8 quarts. Don't just dump in 8 quarts though. Put in 7, run the engine at idle for a minute or so then shut off and wait 5 minutes or so to let the oil drain back to the oil pan then check the oil level with the dipstick. Add oil to the full mark on the dipstick ... it may not take the full 8 quarts and that is OK!
