The engines displacement doesn't have any relation to how much oil is required.
"Bret Chase" the smallest V8 (4.8) in a new truck puts
do you mean the smallest v8 offered in a new truck or the smallest v8 engine gm produces?
i know they make a 267c.i. (4.4L) which is a v8
funny... I thought "the smallest V8 (4.8) in a new truck" was pretty clear.

Don't forget, GM used to make a 265 c.i.d. not sure on the liter size.
The 265 was out of production long before we started referring to displacements in liters. However 265 is approximately 4.3L. The 4.3L V6 is 262 cubic inches.
I know, I just wanted the young(er) readers on here to know where the sb chevy started.
yep.. and on about your 2nd set of rings you had a 283.. lol I know that folks love the 350, but I still think that those early small block v-8's (256-283-327) were some of the best, most dependable engines made.. (and you could work on them without calling in a plumber and electrician to get the smog crap out of your way)
AMEN to that!!
