I recently picked up a Lokar 1220034 dipstick that pushes into the driver's side of the SBF 302 block. I have been told that my pan capacity is 6 quarts including filter, and since my filter is a NAPA 1335 super shorty (only 2" straight side length to clear the motor mount) I'm thinking maybe 5.5 quarts will be "full". My problem - with five quarts of new oil in the pan the level on the Lokar dipstick is more than an inch above their "Full" mark on the crosshatch, well up on the cable (very hard to see new oil on cable!!) The dipstick cable is retained in the handle by an allen head set screw. Is it expected that the dipstick length is to be adjusted to read right? I was told to put in 6 quarts, then verify with the dipstick which is not viable using this dipstick. How do I know the right level without pulling the engine, flipping it over and pulling the pan?
