'67 L79 oil capacity

[William F.]

What is the total oil capacity (including filter change) for a '67 L79? Most say 5 quarts, but in original '67 Corvette sales brochure says "base engine takes 5 qts.; optional engineS take 6 qts."Owner's manual says 5 qts. for all 327's. Just an ad error in brochure or meaning all 427's (which do take 6 qts.)?

ALL 1967 Corvette 327's had a capacity of 5 quarts of oil. I expect that what they meant by "optional engines" was 427 cid optional engines. Someone probably forgot about the fact that there was a 327 cid optional engine.
