Holley Oil pan 5 or 6 Qts
I recently bought a Holley 302-1 oil pan and the recommended by Holley dip stick and tube for my LS engine in a 68 C10. I usually fill the filter then put in all but 1 qt., start the engine , check for leaks then sneak up on the final qt. while checking the dip stick. Well the instructions say 6. qts with a filter so I filled the filter and installed it then put in the remaining oil from a 5 qt. container and when I checked it it was full? Holley says 6 qts but....... I called Holley tech and they were baffled but didn't have an explanation. Has anyone here used this oil pan or the 302-2 or 302-3??

Why change the dip stick I would have used the one that went to the motor I used a truck oil pan but kept the dip stick that went to my motor that way I know that the oil level is correct to the motor regardless of what the pan holds

Not sure if this situation is the same, but in my case, the dipstick that came with the motor was too long for the pan that I switched to. I have a Speed Engineering low profile pan that I swapped to - Had to get a different dipstick (shorter) and tube to use. The truck pan is much deeper, therefore the dipstick is too long for those of us that swap the pans out.

My understanding is it will be 6 quarts total after you install filter run engine then top it off
I am looking at the Holly pan as well for my build I was looking at the knock off ones they shot up in price probably made in the same factory just no logo How do you like the fit and finish ? Been seeing a few post holly pans may come with missing parts |

The engine has no bearing on the dip stick, you use the stick for the pan, period. As stated other pans have different capacities, you stick a shallow pan on with a long stick and then it shows full when you have 3 quarts in it... |
