5 gts, including filter is CORRECT! NOT uncommon for dip sticks to measure incorrectly. I never assume it is "accuarate". I try to determine the correct amount of
oil for the engine in question and mark the dip stick accordingly.
My 427 side oiler has a "Ford Van"
oil pan which runs the same height from the front to the back of the engine. 9 qts with filter, dip stick marked accordingly!
,,,,kinda cool. The
oil level just covers up the word "Safe" but only the SA, leaving the FE uncovered! The gods have spoken!
