Well they need 14 to 15 quarts for an oil/filter change, so 4 gallons and you'll have a little to spare.

How much does the HPOP reservoir hold and how many of you siphon it empty and refill it as part of an oil change?

So whats the deal with the HPOP res? Why doesn't it get circulated with fresh oil?

I just changed my oil and installed a T-500. So I sucked out the hpop res and it was deffinitly blacker/ thicker then the oil that came outta the pan.
