You can download a manual for your engine at the site below, oil capacities are covered on page 3. Have a good one. Geo

Sears model 143.416032 equates to Tecumseh TVXL220-157240A, it takes 32 oz. (1 quart) oil.
You can find the Sears/Tecumseh cross reference at the end of the service manual pdf
thanks,

What you need to do is convert you 143.xxxxxx number which is a sears craftsman # into the tecumseh model number,and then get the manual for that engine.for example TVS-90 or LEV-100 or whay ever.
The last few pages of one of the tecumseh repair manuals shows the comairison chart for doing this. I'm not at home now,and can"t look it up for you....but somebody here can help you with this.

What type of equipment is this motor on ?? an old Sears riding mower ? e.g.
When was the last time this motor has run ??
If it has sat for a long time enough for a lot of water to get in crankcase because it had no dipstick, you've probably got a lot other problems.
Have you tried the electric start to see if motor turns over ??
Personally, I would put in 1 quart fresh oil, take sparkplug out, and turn engine over, by whatever means, electric or pull rope, about 20 times. then drain oil and put in another fresh quart of oil.
Let us know,
thanks,

Good, If it's sat out in weather for a couple of years you should thoroughly clean gas tank and fuel lines, possibly replace fuel lines, replace fuel filter and air filter. I would also suspect the carb has been fouled and would need to remove, disassemble, and thoroughly clean, preferably in a carb bath, and replace, at the least, the inlet needle seat and inlet needle, assuming the float doesn't have any corroded pin holes allowing gas to get inside the float.
