Reply to "10Qt pan oil volume"

Thanks for all the tips, but that's what I get buying cars already modified. Who knows where the level should be or how much to really put in the pan other than as suggested by Julian and take the pan off & take a look see. On my red 5S with Fontana engine I have good records on that and 9qt was put in each time on all prior oil changes with the prior owner. Even then, who knows, but at least its something historically.

This time I put in 8.5 and measured then took it to the usual historical 9. Even then as shown in the photos below, one side of the stick shows a patch in the middle (but I assume that empty mark on the middle of the stick is where it is rubbing on the inside of the tube when I am drawing it out). WTF I need a drink.
