How much oil?

(1/2) > >>

gasserx:
How much oil do you recomend for a sbc with a Milodon 31145 pan?

Paul New:
Milodon states that this pan is 7qts plus the filter. We ran  this pan with 8qts in our blown SBC running 6.60's. I have also run this pan with 6qts in a lower HP application.
I do have one of these oil pans for sale granted it does come with all the parts between the pan and intake.......lol,

I already have one  ;)
But was not sure how much oil to fill in it. This is not a very high power engine. Injected alky. Not highest cr around. I'll try 6qts + filter then, should be safe?

dusterdave173:
I have used 7 total with good results--When we ran 8 total she would spit a little out one breather at high RPM--either way you will be OK but 7- to 7 1/2 will do just fiine IMO

George:
I have run the same pan for several years . 8 quarts total with the spin on filter.
