Hi guys. I have the stated, inverted tee, 8 Qt pan on my FE. I want to check my original dip stick verification (done at 8.5 Qts) without draining the
oil. Reason being, measuring the (flexible stick) it’s almost longer than the distance between the retaining tube and the sump.
Anyhow measuring the kick out part of the pan, it volumes out to exactly 8 Qts.
At the front and rear are two tapered plugs. The rear I used for the
oil temp sensor and the front is undusturbed. My question is, if I remove the front plug and set the
oil level with the top of the plug hole, that will be 8Qts, correct? Or is the pan full of stuff that will take up some of the volume? Thanks.
