Yeah but if I eventually sold either car it wouldn't leave the new owner anything to be puzzled about. Don did say the stick could be fixed though to match the engine 10 qt level. Probably the proper thing to do, but I can live with it as is because my real concern was the proper oil level. Tara at Hall also said the amount should be 9 qt (8 in the pan one in the filter). I figure it is their engine and their pan so they should know. I am ok with 9 as I know there are questions out there too about 10 qt pans really taking 10 or 9 and on my changes I have usually put in 9.


Mine is an AVIAD. It takes 10 but who's to say my car isn't a little screwy anyway?

I can tell because the decals are still on it. You can't get them off. They must weld them on or use some kind of high tech glue?

Maybe your pans are another brand? The bottom of yours look different with that checkerboard pattern.

It's too cold to go out in the garage tonight. It's 6 with 50 mph winds. Otherwise I'd take a pic to show you what I mean. I'm glad it warmed up a little.

Maybe tomorrow? It's supposed to go up to 16.
