| I sort of remember putting 6 quarts of oil into my D17 gas a few months ago after rebuilding the engine. I remember buying 2 1-gallon containers, and the 2nd container was half full (or half empty) when the proper amount of oil was added. Add oil to your filter to the point the oil isn't being absorbed by the filter media, and then spin it on. |

It depends on what D17 you have. I do believe later models had full flow oil system and used a different filter.
