im doing an oil change and not sure how much oil it takes?:confused013:
Unless you are doing something really extreme with your truck, there's no need for that. 11-12 quarts is quite alot, most vehicles use only 4-5, and my Jeep(which I do push to the extreme) only uses 6.does anyone make a bigger aluminum pan or am i going to have to get a custom one?i use 12 but would like more
I sure as heck don't! That chit aint cheap to change! And yes I do it myself.any of y'all ever look at our pan? SOB ain't even half a inch deep where the front axle is, LOTS of room for a slightly deeper one, IF you make the front axle bumpstops longer...
in the many other applications of our motor, they run around 15 quarts in the crank case, i wish our version did too...
as for the OP's question:
11, 10 in the case, and 1 in the filter...:thumbsup:
How far above the oil is the crankshaft? Does the oil stay towards the back of the pan where the drain plug is or does it go into the flat part along the top? That's the question.Cmon guys guys, look how big the area is in the oil pan, (volume ) how much more will the volume be raised by an extra qt?
Maybe a 1/2 inch?
Maybe.
Most of us run around with 12 qts in.....I dont think the engine cares too much.
