Reply to "10Qt pan oil volume"

I've been an owner for a while ; so, I'll add my dime. I've tested the Aviad pan that I own many times. Out of the engine and sitting on a flat surface, I could put 10 quarts in my pan before it broached the windage tray which measures 4.25" above the pan floor. There are 4" between the windage tray and the bolt flange. My notes also show 6 qts to the baffle. (I hypothesize that was to the top of the baffles). I run 12 quarts due to having an oil filter, oil cooler and an Accusump. Even so, I profess that anyone with an Aviad pan can safely run 10 quarts. With the engine operating, there are probably two quarts circulating - at least.

After draining the oil, I add ten quarts and mark my dip stick with the edge of a file at that level.
