A dash means the figure is not documented for that row, or is still being verified against the manufacturer's own publication. Capacities are the manufacturer's reference quantity — confirm the final level on the dipstick. Filter buys the OEM part named on that same row; <grade> oil buys engine oil of the grade named on that row. Rows without a filter button are parts we have not matched to a listing yet.
