I talked to the Mancini guys at MATS about their six quart "hemi" pan. I was told by the Mancini guy total oil capacity would be six quarts using the hemi pan. Not six in the pan and one in the filter, but six total



I would have to agree with this , I don't think the original pan was a 7qt total system , I have 2 original pans and they are the same depth as the repop , though I don't have a Mancini repop mine are MP , well at least one is , I think I got the other from Hoover's .

As far as the dipstick being off , what dipstick do you have 69 ? Also you need to let the motor sit for a while before checking the oil as it doesn't all fall directly back into the pan , especially with a mopar windage tray .
