The 525 EFI holds 8 quarts of oil... but go with what your dipstick is telling you when you are re-filling it. It's very difficult to remove ALL the oil from your engine when you're pumping it out, so be careful not to overfill. You'll get more oil out if you get it real hot first, so the best thing to do is to go for a ride before you change it. I just changed the oil on my 525's yesterday, and ended up replacing about 6 1/2 quarts in each motor when I was done... maybe you'll do better. Good luck!

+1,,,, the system holds 8,,,, you will never get 8 out.

the rest is in the cooler and lines.
