Default Oil Capacity Help

Guys,
Can't seem to find my manual and am about to change all three oils. I have an 04 Ultra , can you tell me the levels for all three?

Engine: put in 3.25 quarts with a filter change to start with. Run the motor for 30 seconds then let it sit a few min and check it. Add any if necessary. It'll probably take about 3.5 quarts. If you have an oil cooler closer to 4 quarts

Trans: one quart

Primary: one quart

Oops my apologies ref the transmission on an '04... I believe 1flhtk4me is right. Less than a quart on those 88" motors. My '09 is a quart.

My bad!

My 08 FLHTC repair manual calls for 38 oz in the primary. Even when I went to the dealership to buy the oils and o-rings the service guy told me only a quart is needed and is what they always use. I told him what the manual said and his response was they hadn't seen that. hummmm??????

I use as close to 38 oz as I can but make sure you can see the oil touching the inner primary parts.

Yeah I remember that for the '09. I was addressing his '04, but I did mess up on the transmission amount for his '04.

38 oz in the '09 and up is a PIA cuz you have to break into a second quart, but oh well.

Thanks for spotting me though... hadn't had enough coffee yet.

This thread demonstrates why you check the level visually and don't rely on measurements. :-)
