    Oil capacity on 383
    « on: June 13, 2005 - 12:21:42 PM »
    I got a new dipstick tube.

    So now I have to ask a question that seems too simple, but--

    What is the capacity of the BB pan with baffles and windage tray?

    P. S. I'm a quart over full at 6 qts.

    Published specs show 4 quarts plus 1 for the filter (assuming a long filter).

    I would say your dipstick is reading correctly.

    How about for a stock pan and standard filter?

    My 1970 383 Magnum has the stock pan and has always used 5 quarts.  I always changed filters so never worried about how much stays in the filter.
