how much oil does a ford cargo 0811 hold in its engine?

If its an 0811 it should have the Ford 110 engine. According to the Ford Cargo Workshop Manual, the re-fill capacity is 14 litres if it has a front well or 14.6 Litres if it has a rear well. If the oil cooler (if you have one) was drained as well (there is a drain plug on the underside of it) - add another 0.7 Litres.

Good idea to put some clean oil into the filter before screwing it on - helps to build up oil pressure sooner when you re-start.
Make sure truck is on level ground when checking dipstick!
Overfilling the engine with oil can be almost as bad as underfilling it.

Except he is talking about a Ford Cargo you thicko.

Will probably need between 4 and 5 gallons.

Thats what you get when the "think I know about car mechanics" cross over to the big stuff.

Most motors hold less than a gallon,drain it, fit a new filter,warm engine up for 5 mins let it settle then top it up a bit at a time and read the dipstick!Easy.
