yeah, dmax's are like 10, cummins are like 15 or so, and powerstrokes are 12 14 or 16. can't quite remember. Might have a top mount canister style filter too. Those are expensive so let him know so he doesnt freak out when he gets an outrageous price quote.

99 Cummins will take 10.5 quarts, plus about 1 qt to fill the oil filter...
