8V71 oil capacity
IBDozing Discussion Groups: Engines and Power Systems: 8V71 oil capacity

I've got an old Michigan 280, straight-frame wheel dozer, with a 8V71 for power. I don't know if it has the correct dipstick, and I don't know how many gallons of oil it should hold. It has good oil pressure unless I drive it forward uphill over about a 15% grade, then the pressure starts to fluctuate. I can back uphill with no loss of pressure. Can someone tell me how many gallons it should hold? Thanks

I've got an 8V71 in a TEREX dozer and it holds 13 gallons.

OK, thanks.
