Reply to "10 quart oil pan"

garth66"When speed is the only thing that counts"

The stock dipstick length from the tip to the beginning of the cup opening was 38 1/2". HOWEVER, this is wrong! Ford issued a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) instructing dealers to shorten the dipstick to 38" from tip to beginning of the cup opening, which is the correct length.

I would think it makes little difference what oil pan is on the car as the dipstick is mounted/indexed from the block and the full level mark will be in the same relative position to the crank and block regardless of whether the pan holds 5 quarts or 10 quarts. I'm sure others who have mounted 10-quart pans will chime in with their experience.
