ME NEITHER! I have googled and cannot find anywhere the level of oil in the sump is given as a distance from the crank.

1. If it is above the windage tray is bad (foaming)
2. if it is JUST below the tray, that is ok for level road, but accel or braking and one end of the pan will have oil above (bad)
3. just don't know the "Goldie Loks" level! to me it appears it would vary with the engine use.

the dipstick marked 5 1/2" and thus only needs 5.5 quarts to indicate full with a 9 qt pan...just think it would only be 3qts (or less) with a stock pan.

I for one am still unsure where the oil level should be. I guess this is one of those super secret bits of info.
