99 PSD oil change question
I bought a 99 F-350 with a PSD and no owners manual. Everyone tells me 14 quarts, but with 14 in it reads a quart and a half low. Also, does the 99 have the 2 quarts that stay in the engine to run the injectors, and if so will changing the oil on a hill have any effect on how much stays in there? All for now, thanx,

99 PSD oil change question
Hello
seems that I read somewhere that apx. 3 qts. are left in the engine.
Two qts in the rails and one in the oil cooler? (I think).
I don't know if draining on a hill will get the ballance out.
I wouldn't since the injectors need that oil to fire. could be a extra drain on electrical system / starter.
I have a 2001 psd and it holds 15 qts. with filter change,without filter change apx. two qts less.
I have heard older models don't hold as much. If you put 14 qts in, and its not up to full on the dip stick then I could assume that yours holds 15 qts. Unless you drain on a hill and in fact additional oil did came out.
This is my first diesel so I am just learning but I think this is correct. If not someone will be along to tell us so.

99 PSD oil change question
My early 99 is on the "full" mark when 15qts are added. I prefill the filter before putting it on then dump about 13qts in the engine. I then drive it to the auto parts store to dispose of the old oil. When I get home I let it sit for 1/2 hour then check the dipstick. It's on full everytime. Trying to get the oil out of the HP pump and pressure rails is a serious waste of time.

99 PSD oil change question
Outstanding! I wasnt trying to get the extra 2 quarts out though, I was just trying to figure out why it was reading low. If you guys say 15, then 15 it is. I did put in the 15th quart and it's just like you said Les, right on the full mark. Thanks for the help fellas!
