I do not own a coyote......but, then adding a new oil pan that is different from your old one, you have to calibrate your dipstick. Pan sumps and capacity vary. I just installed an Armondo's 9qt roadrace pan. Before installing the pan, the dipstick, my old one from Canton installs into the pan and not the block. Knowing dimensionally it is 9qts, I poured in 8qts of water and marked "ADD" then added the another qt and marked "Full". The new Marks were different to the old because the Canton pan was a deep T sump that's 8" long but deeper where the Armondo's pan T sump is 19" long but 2.5" less deep. The difference between Add and Full is 1/4". The water level was just at the pan baffle that covers the custom pickup and trap doors.
