Default 1985 oil capacity question

what is the correct amount of oil to put in an 85, 32v us, if you do not change the filter?

Probably between seven and eight quarts.

You will probably be chastised for not changing the filter...

Eight sounds about right. When I change mine with filter it is nine.

I always change the filter. Certainly much cheaper than an overhaul. US 9 quarts with filter.
