dipstick

Hey Guys,

I just rebuild my 2003 f350 6.0l. I have a question, We are talking total rebuild..Now my question. I got what should be a new 6.0 dipstick.. I put 15qts of oil in the engine but not oil on the stick.. Does anyone know how long the dipstick should be... I no longer have the old one.. can't check it out now!!

If the engine was just rebuilt and not filled with oil prior to install it will hold more than 15 qts. I can't remember the total but seem to remember that it will hold 2-3 more quarts.

Hey Jetjockey99,

Thank for the reply... I did not know that.. Have not seen it in any of the books... But I do guess by the time all the pumps and rails and injectors and what stays in the valley, that could be the case.... Thanks again.
