I’ve always got the dumb questions I can never get my head around, but hear me out.
The stock 5.0ho oil pan as shows, has two drops so that the pan can clear the subframe. Because oil sits in these two drops when resting, obviously you’d need two drain bolts, but when checking oil level, couldn’t that give you a screwed up level? If some of that oil is on the other drop, and the dipstick reads from pickup side, how the hell are you gonna get an accurate reading?
Never had a car with two drain bolts, so first oil change was pretty amusing lol. Never had low oil pressure or the low level light come on, just curious
