I can look at mine later on.
It is a stock oil pan.



Take a photo of it and show us...

Thanks, I'll take a picture of it after work.

He's a solid dude, so I gave him an extra like just because. And also just because the now imperfect number might drive some people's OCD off the charts!

First one is from a 89 mark 4. Second is from the 91 mark 5 engine I just got in it. The tubes were the same size so i used the better of the 2 but the dipsticks are just a little diffrent length. Would have thought they would be the same.

I think that might depend on who you ask

I think it's funny that you guys with the short dipsticks had to get the chrome ones to compensate.

Shorter but stiffer. Not like the long flimsy stock stick. Like try'n to push rope. Lol

I can't believe my eyes.....a Fram oil filter?? I cannot unsee that which I have seen!!! LOL I'll just chalk it up to the glare off those tires! Lookin' good!!!

All i use is fram!! Whats wrong there???

I use to use Fram too until I seen a number of side by side comparisons with other well known filters. The Fram filters seem to have much inferior components and even are assembled haphazardly.To each there own but I personally will not use another Fram product on any of my vehicles. I now only use WIX products, a few pennies more but I feel it's worth it to help protect my rides better. And I also put rare earth magnets on the bottom of the filter when I change them. The video is easily found on Youtube. Just type in Fram oil filter and it should be close to the top of your results

THAT brought back old memories. They used to call my brother "ROPE" when he was in High School!!

Here's a pic of the oil pan. I like how the drain plug is in the middle pointing down on the bottom of the pan.

I added another quart today and it came up to the add 1 quart spot. That's 8 quarts now.

Questionable, at best.
Damn Texan

I’ll try to measure my dipstick and tube tomorrow. It’s stock and I’m pretty sure it’s a 7 quart system with the filter.
