I may be mistaken but you probably have an Aviaid pan? I looked on the Hall web page and don't see a pan offered in the on line catalog.
In any case, I do, and it is a 9qt pan, and with my system with dual remote filters and oil cooler, I take 12 quarts.
It uses the original stock Pantera dip stick.
The dipstick is just reading the depth of oil in the pan. With the Aviad pan, the sump of the pan is maximized and about doubled. It is stock depth.
When I read a quart low on my stick, it is actually about 2 quarts low because of this.
Hope this helps and doesn't confuse you?
