total is 18qrts--had to double check that but only 13 to 15 qrts on the change--that I was sure of

I have changed the oil in a 7.3 numerous times and never has it taken less than 16 quarts, maybe the 6.0 is different tho

they say that mobil is good--but too much for me
had to beat myself up to go with a full synthetic just because of the price.
