Default Oil Capacity

This '06 Ultra is the only vehicle that I have ever owned that does not tell how much oil it holds. I can't find anything in the SM either. What's up with that and how much does your TC88 hold?

Do you know how to use a dipstick
Start with 3 quarts and take it from there (do NOT overfill)

All the capacities are in my service manual and should be in yours. I'd make sure you have a HD service manual.&nbsp\\;3.5 - 4 quarts.

3.5 qts means 3.5 qts. NOT 4-&nbsp\\;Oil level should be to the middle on the dip stick. Not the top. If you over fill it you may get oil blow by into your air cleaner.
