Ok...I hate to be that guy, but can anyone throw a guess at which Tremec and Oil pan I have in my car? The PO was a young kid who didn't have the info.
I know the pics suck. I had to rush into another repair on another car...
Don't laugh...I'm not a car noob, but I just drained and filled the car with 5 quarts (I didn't change the filter as its a Mobil-1 with 500 miles on it), and the oil level on the dipstick (which is identical to the Ford Racing dipstick/tube I just ordered) barely registered, and was under the "add" mark. Which is why I'm confused. The PO told me 5.2 quart fill, but he used the existing oil pan that was on the car.
If I go 7 quarts...are their symptoms I can quickly identify that I overfilled it if it is indeed a 5 quart pan?
Yes. It will be way over full on the dipstick. Why don’t you just try adding a little bit at a time till you get to the full mark and go from there. .2 quarts isn’t going to be the difference though if it just barely registered on the stick at 5.
