My someday motor will be dry-sumped.

Thanks for your response. BTW, it looks like you're quoted in the linked Web page (Oil Pan Research | Hey Little Cobra…).

Based upon what I see there, the Aviaid Cobra 460 oil pan (p/n 155-55435) has a capacity of 9 quarts in the sump, plus filter and cooler. I couldn't find capacity information on Aviaid's Web site or in their catalogue, but it seems reasonable, based upon what I've seen elsewhere. For example:

• Canton Marine pan (p/n 18-760) has a full 7.5" deep sump w/o kickouts, and it's listed as 7 quarts
• Milodon Marine Pan (p/n 31365) has a pan capacity of 10 quarts, plus plus filter w/o kickouts, but it's 8.85" deep at the front and 7” deep at the rear

Questions:

1. Ignoring the oil in the Accusump, has it been your experience that 9 quarts is the pan capacity?
2. Other than going dry sump, would you go with the same pan if you had to do it all over again?
