The 6.8L V10 is just a 5.4 with two more cylinders tacked on (do the math) and the oiling system is the same. Other than the pan, the dry sump system for the V10 would be the same as the 5.4 V8. The 5.4 and 6.8 share rods, bores, bore centers etc. This was the "modular" motor sytem, the block could be machined on the same line and equipment thus "modular". Initially there was to be 90 degree V6 version also.
