Whats the capacity for my 69 1500cc single port motor?

What is the best oil to run in it weight-wise?

General conclusion, quality oil you change often...

Oh and your case should hold 2.5 quarts.

Look here for oil capacity:

It actually says 2.5 "liters". That's like 2.65 quarts.

For oil discussion, please use the oil topic above.

The capacity question has been answered too so...
