Like I said I got this like it is. One of two things is true:

If the proper oil level is from the bottom of the block to the standard dipstick then I need 11qts to make up the capacity.

If the proper oil level is from the bottom of the pan, then the stick is too short.

However, I'll state again that when I changed it and it went down (for whatever reason) the oil temperature stopped reacting, and when I filled it up the sensor worked again (and closely tracked water temp.). My conclusion is the oil temp sensor was out of the oil and only getting pan/block conducting heat.

Another choice would be to revert to the original pan (which I don't have and would have to acquire from Roush.)

Edit: I'm 2000 miles away from the car, but I checked Canton and this pan looks very similar:

Capacity is 10qt... If +1 for filter = 11...
