MY 80 302 ford Ranger 150 owner's manual noted 6 quarts of oil when changing filter. But quite a few others Ford 302 owners on the web, etc. commonly quote or reference 5 quarts of oil in 302 motors.....

Are there any differences in the STOCK FORD- non racing, non- high performance oil pan capacities for Ford 302 motors from the 70's and 80's ?????? Did truck and Broncos, etc. pans have higher capacities vs. car oil pans??

 

I always put in six, 5 quarts for the engine, and 1 quart for the filter change. That's what my owner's manual tells me and that's what I put back in.
