Reading this thread is of interest to me as my stock cleveland block with 10 qrt oil pan over reads. I have filled it with approx 8 ltrs (8 qrts) yet it still over reads.

Following the info in this thread I went out and measured my dipstick, its 38 5/8", where there different length dipsticks supplied, if so why?

If I modify my dipstick to 38" by shortening at the top end as suggested this should give me the correct level reading but is this the right thing to do.

cheers

It would put 5/8" more in the pan. What that measures out to in specific quantity is unknown to me.

PROBABLY the people to ask about the importance of this is AVIAID themselves? Let them tell you how important that is. Our discussion here is just speculation on supposition.

However if you think about it, they used the dipstick level as the determination, i.e., they left that up to Ford.

In theory, they are the ones with best data available.
