I probably should have my head examined for this, but here goes.  The
workshop manual says 10 pints of oil including filter for the 260. The 289
spec is 11.4 pints including filter and cooler.   If you really want to be
that precise, then remove the oil pan, which is relatively easy to do and it
probably needs cleaning anyway, then pour in 4 qts of oil and measure the
depth from the pan flange. Then measure the dipstick from the an rail on the
block to determine how far it sticks down.  Better yet is to simply drain
the pan and then pour in 3 qts of oil on a clean dipstick. Remove the
dipstick and mark that level as the add 1 qt position. Use a small center
punch to mark the Dip Stick. Then add another qt of oil and remove and check
the DS. Mark that position as the full mark.  The ford filter of choice in
those days was the Fram PH8A or Motorcraft unit which was probably made in
the same plant. They hold 1 qt of oil.  When you change your oil and filter
using either of these and if you have the remove filter which is vertical
and bolted to the driver's side head, then prefill the filter before putting
the oil lines back on. And then add only 4 qts to the pan. No dry starts
that way. Ditto if you are using the 90 degree adapter only on the side of
the block. If using a short filter, prefill one and see just how much oil it
takes. Or just go ahead and put the full remaining oil into the motor. The
level will not be significantly higher in the pan. A qt of oil is about 58
cubic inches and on a pan sump which is about 9 x 10 inches or so that is
only a depth of 0.64 inches. And a whole lot more than that will be hung up
in the motor when operating so added oil is good anyway. Runs cooler (well,
a bit anyway).

 

This really is easy to figure out. 

 

Can we move on, this horse has been completely beaten to death, skinned
hide tanned and turned into a saddle.
