Isc350 oil capacity

Trying to reconcile differing data for 2000 U270:

1.  FT owners manual, Appendix A Lubrication and Capacity reports ISC8.3 20 qts with filter
2.  Cummins Operation and Maintenance Manual (provided by FT withcoach when new) reports standard engine total system capacity at 21 qts (22 w/deep sump oil pan) and Oil Pam low to high for standard oil pan 16-20 qts and deep oil sump (17-21 qts). Not sure which sump was provided to FT
3.  Beamalarm reports 20 qts
4.  Cummins data sheet for ISC350 reports 6.3 gallons (25.2 qts)

So I assume go with FT and beam alarm?

Thanks for your thoughts.

When I change the oil in our 2001 U270 it takes 22 quarts with filter change. As the oil is sold by the gallon that leaves enough for my 10KW generator. I use a 20 quart catch pan but empty the filter before draining the oil. Then I put the new oil and filter in and use the empty containers for the oil in the catch pan. Be sure to fill the filter correctly before installing.
