I set up a fixture - 289 oil pan, timing cover and oil pump with pick up
=20
I used my 260 Tiger dipstick and tube.    The end of this dipstick is =
about
1/2" off the bottom of the oil pan.
=20
Leveled fixture front to back, side to side
=20
2qt - level is at ADD line
3qt - level is 1/4" below FULL line
4qt - level is at the top L of FULL
=20
Tiger oil lines hold about 4 oz
=20
I calculated the volume for oil filters - actual fluid measurements =
probably
vary
Fram PH8A =3D 49.214 cu in =3D 27.27 oz =3D 1.7 pt    ( 1.7 + .25 =3D =
1.95 pt)
almost 1qt
Fram PH3600 =3D 34.289 cu in =3D 18.99 oz =3D 1.18 pt
=20
I measured the angle of my Tiger engine at 2 degrees tilted down at =
front
I measured the angle of my 1988 Mustang engine at 4 degrees tilted down =
at
back
=20
Tilt test
2 degree front        3qt - level is at FULL line
                            4qt - level is 1/16" below Ford logo oval
=20
5 degree back    3qt - level is 1/4" above ADD line or just below mid =
line
                        4qt - level is 1/8" below FULL line
=20
I never think the tilt of the engine would mean so much but there you =
have
it - Tilt means everything with respect to the dipstick.
