Reply to "10Qt pan oil volume"

If your Pantera oil dipstick is the proper length, there was a TSB on that issue, that is all you need to properly fill your oilpan.

It matters not if that oilpan is stock, stock modified, ten quart or made out of fairy dust.

All pans are properly filled when the oil is at the proper mark on the stock dipstick.

The correct oil fill is designed to be at a low enough level where the crankshaft is not acting like a kitchen mixer and whipping air into the oil. Overfill and you enter the whipped-oil zone.

That proper relationship between the crank and the dipstick fill mark does not change when you change the oilpan.

This used to confuse me, too, so don't feel like the Lone Ranger.

But it really is that simple.
