Well...it depends on the engine: * Detroit Diesel DD15: 47 quarts, or 11.75 gallons * Detroit Diesel Series 60: 39 quarts * Cummins ISX: 54 quarts * Caterpillar C15: 40 quarts * Mercedes-Benz MBE 4000: 44 quarts I can't find the capacity of a Volvo D15, but it's right up there. You don't change the oil in these trucks every 3000 miles. If you did you'd be changing it every week--a solo driver can easily do 3000 to 3500 miles a week, and guys pulling teams can do 5000 miles easy if the freight comes down right. A fleet that does regular oil analysis can easily get three to four months' service out of an oil change.
