We rate the pan at 9 Qts. static in the pan. This should fill the sump up to about the underside of the hard tray bolted into the pan. We recomend that the 1st time your fill the pan in the car, with the car flat on the ground and the pan empty, you add 8 quarts and mark the stick. Add 1 more quart and mark the stick again. This is a high-low marking procedure. Then start the engine, let everything pressurize and fill, shut the engine down, and let everything drain down for a few minutes. Then measure how much to fill back up to the top mark. The total will give you system capacity. This now includes lines, filter, cooler, whatever. From that point you can adjust level to suite your requirements. Some will run a little more, some a little less, depending on usage.
