Hmm.  Come to think of it -- I think it may have been a simple misprint in
the owner's manual.  Top level may be 8 quarts.  All I know is when I do my
oil changes I put in 8 quarts (including filter change).

Reminds me of  the 217? cu. ft engine in the Press spec sheet for 1990 V8
introduction.  Man, how'd they stuff that thing in there? :-)
