RE: oil level

Ak the story I've heard with the CJ is that ford used a different dipstick that had the full mark moved up to include the extra quart of oil.If you drain your engine of oil and refill it with 5 quarts(6 if you change the filter)start the engine and run for a few minutes,shut it off and let it sit for a half hour and then pull your dipstick and mark it at the existing oil level you will be set.This only applies if you are running the 390GT-428CJ unibody style pan with a windage tray.Any other style FE pan and your guess is good as mine.
This thread, so far...
