Oil level indicates loss

I am fairly sure I addded the right amount of oil. 5.1 quarts with the filter?





That is probably the best place to start but what is the correct amount of oil? In the 318 it was 4.5 quarts with the filter, what is it with the 360 magnum? Also if the dipstick is to short and I fill it up till it shows full won't that actually be over filled? What is the right amount of oil for a 360 magnum?

What type oil pan it wears would be the determining factor.
Which oil filter would make a slight difference too.
A slight overfill wont hurt near as much as underfilled.

Personally , I dont play at 1/2 quart in my 273. I run a medium length ( Wix 51085 ) oil filter, pour in the full 5 quarts and adjusted the measuring stick to that.
