I’m going to use a Milodon 7qt. pan on my motor. Because I added splayed caps to it, it’s easier to have a pan mounted dipstick. To determine the correct fill level, I took a factory pan and added 5 qts of water to it. It measured 4” from the pan rail. I then took the Milodon pan and added 7 qts of water to it. That also measured 4” from the pan rail. That will put my Spotts windage tray about an inch above the oil with the engine not running. I will set my dipstick full level at the 4” mark and add whatever amount is needed to read full. I am running a remote filter and possibly an accusump so the total amount hasn’t really been determined yet.
