I have a 75 F-250 4x4 with the original 360 block ,with a Milodon rear sump 8 quart oil pan . I am assuming the original pan was 5 quart .So add one quart for filter change .I use an extra capacity Wix 51773 .I am coming up with 9 1/2 quarts . I read in HotRod or Carcraft mag about determining level by adding oil until pressure drops . Thanks

 

The rear sump, 4x4 pan holds 6 quarts.

I never heard of this one. Care to share with the rest of the class?

 

Yeah, that's when the oil foams up, the pump sucks air in, and you ruin your bearings. But at least you know how much oil it'll take

 

Does the pan have a provision for a dipstick, and does it use the stock one? If so, just fill it to full on the dipstick............

 

It has a Milodon dipstick . I am looking for the article by Carcraft . I just read it about a month ago . Oil pressure has been fine since I installed the engine ,1500 miles ago .I am getting ready to do my forth oilchange. I look for sales on oil !
