Default 2016 Fat Boy Capacities

I have a friend of mine wants me to service her '16 Fat Boy. I know the capacities are in the manual, which she has misplaced! Also I haven't dealt with a Softail since about '98, all I have dealt with in the past 10+ years is FL Touring bikes and I know this one is a little different.


Can someone give me the quick run down on capacities for this 103?


Engine Oil
Tranny
Primary


Thanks In Advance!

The manual for my '15 softail says oil with filter 3 qts, transmission approx 1 qt, primary approx 1 qt.

it reads: add 2 qts oil to tank then add to as needed to bring to the full mark.

add 28 oz to transmission then add as necessary to bring to spec.
