Meph Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hey guys, I've swapped a C6 oil pan onto my LSX swap, I use to have a modified truck pan but wanted more ground clearance. I got the correct pickup and windage tray from the seller, but no dipstick, on my OEM stick the oil level reads about an inch past the full mark of the stock dipstick. Ive put exactly 5.5 Quarts into the pan. Is this reading normal with the incorrect dipstick and tube? Id assumed the oil level would be constant to the block regardless of what pans installed. If I can get a consistent reading I was hoping to simply mart the dipstick at the current level. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebekahsZ Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Recommended oil capacity specifications vary considerably on the LS family. Look up the spec for the motor that the oilpan came off of. Fill to that capacity. Run the engine a bit. Mark the stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
