Bob;

5 quarts may not seem like a lot, but the pan determines the capacity/quanitity of oil, not cubic inches............90's model Nissan trucks with the V-6 engine hold a total of 3 quarts with filter change...........

My race car has an 8 quart road race pan and with the remote oil filter/cooler (12AN lines and there length) and the 1.5 quart large racing filter, that 331 cu.in. motor holds 11 quarts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
