Reply to "dip stick measures - got confused"

Tx Larry!
- yes the dip stick length is correct plus/minuns 1mm
- confusing to me besides the "W" as in Warrant.. is that the oil pans are "rated" 8 quads. This leaves the impression that one should fill app 8 quads. Well the Kevko add reads: fill capacity is 8 quads/7.6 liter, guess NOT necessary what one should fill!.

Well If I stay with the dip stick full mark (the upper end) I end up with app 6 quads max as the result of the current oil refil/change. I started with 6.5 when engine was all new and no oil filled, measured with the OEM dip stick. Was a bit below the upper mark (my notes where a bit vage unfort.). As this time there was residual oil left and now I am a bit above the max with 6 q.

So we gain the baffels per the modified pan and app. 1..1.5 quad of more oil compared to the Boss pan i had - right? boss was 5 quads if I am correct.

Will Stay with the upper/max mark.
