Semi tractors all have diesel engines. By design, diesel engines always require more oil than a gasoline engine does.

Furthermore, semi trucks have very large diesel engines capable of putting out 400-500 horsepower. Therefore, these engines will require a significant amount of oil.


The amount of oil required is usually around 10 gallons (40 quarts), give or take. To contrast, your car may hold about a gallon or just a little more.

How much oil do I put in a semi truck when the dipstick measures low oil?

If the dipstick on your semi truck indicates low oil, you should typically add oil in small increments, usually around one quart at a time. After adding oil, wait a few minutes and check the dipstick again to ensure you're within the acceptable range. It's important not to overfill the oil; consult your truck's owner manual for the specific oil capacity and type recommended for your engine. Regularly monitoring and maintaining oil levels is crucial for optimal engine performance.
