When you changed the oil and filter. This thing holds 7 by the indicator when changed. I have put in a tube and indicator and double checked the part #s. The correct tube and indicator are in it. Did they have any 7 quart factory pans? I cann't find a listing in the parts catalogs. Doesn't look like this pan has ever been changed. Any thoughts? Jim

I can go measure one if you want me to. so you can compare it to what you have. Photobucket sucks
