My '65 and '66 GTO's say "Cap. 5 qts" and my '67 says "Cap 6 quarts". The pans are all the same. The '67 just takes another quart. The 389's I have take 6 with filter, and the '67 takes 7.
Jeff, that was the exact picture I was referring to, it just showed up randomly in a search. TY for a clarification.....

Pontiac engineers just made a change to the dipstick, all other things remained the same. Maybe the rumor of a factory deep pan can now be laid to rest.......
