dipstick
I bought the project part way done.
The car has a FMS crate motor, and the oil dipstick is generic with no markings. The oil pan looks mostly stock and made of sheetmetal . My question is how do I know how much oil to add, and how to mark the dipstick? Thanks, Jim |
Pretty easy, drain the pan, add a known quantity of oil, mark the dipstick accordingly. Even if the stick had been marked, it's good to check it anyway, have seen a couple of occasions where the supplied, and marked dipstick, was wrong! Go figure.
Cheers, Bob |
how do I know how much is needed?
Is the answer always 5 quarts? Thanks, Jim |
You can double check how much oil your engine takes by looking it up on the FMS website. That way you can also visually compare oil pans.
