I knew they'd need a lot of oil. It's been a while since I've been in the workshop but the last time I was droping oil and filters on trucks I was on Mercs which were about 27 litres on the V6 engines IIRC. I seem to have in the back of my head that some of the larger and older trucks used to hold oil capacities in the 40 something litres.
