FYI:   My manual from Universal states that the engine has an oil capacity between 4.0 and 4.4 quarts.

That's true.  However, Ron's point in his last post that you can only remove 3 quarts has been our experience.  The trick?  When refilling, use LESS than you think you need, and keep checking the dipstick.  Don't be in a hurry.  When you think you've found the right amount (and I always start on the low mark on the 'stick), run the engine, let it settle, check the level again, add just a LITTLE more, and do it over until you're satisfied.  I keep mine between the two marks.
