Generation III Internal Engine - whose all running 6quarts of oil

whose all running 6 quarts of oil on a regular length oil filter. any problems?

Half a quart overfill should not cause major problems, generally you don't want to overfill because of increased windage, foaming, etc. of the oil but good oil and only 1/2 quart should make it less of a concern here.

I've been running 6 quarts in my LS1 for over 5 years and 1/2 quart over in many cars over the last 25 years. No problems.

just wondering what benefit would 6qt or 1/2 qt more get you? I usually run at 1/2 mark on dip stick to prevent windage/foaming.

since most everyone's lsx engines causes oil to dissapear i wouldn't think there would be anything wrong with it being half a quart high,especially since soon as you start it up and take off and it starts sloshing and roping it is a quart or more lower.

I use the K&N oil filter #2006 (long Filter) 6 qts. puts me on the full mark.

I fill the filter and put 5.3 quarts in, never an issue. The only time to worry is iff you put 10-15 quarts in it, its happended at dealerships and it locks the motor. At worst a lil oil on the crank could take a few hp off of the table, 1/2 quart shouldn't do that.

Just run the longer filter. For K@N's, it's par # 2006. No reason to run high when you can run a bigger oil filter with no clearance issues.

I run 5.75 each oil change. I fill the filter up before install, which is usually .25 for the stock filter and I put 5.5 in the head.

6 and the long filter

i run 6 and the regular filter with no problems

6 and the regular filter since I purchased the car in January 2001

6, reg filter...

i run 5 quarts and a bottle of lucas! reg filter

I've run 7 quarts before auto-x events, then kept it in there for a while. no problems at all.

6 and a long filter

6 and regular filter also

6 and regular filter also

me too, i've heard of some people using just 5 quarts with no problem, way back when, drag racers would actually run like 3 quarts so the oil wouldnt hit the crank tryin to get every horse they could out of the motor. the level of oil in the pan rises like a 1/4 inch with the extra half quart, maybe less.

6 qts with the longer filter.

So do I .......... :judge:..5-1/2 Quarts all together. [I use a large bottle and just put in a 1/2 quart or so of LUCAS OIL TREATMENT.][on top of my usual 10W40 Castrol]

6 qts and a regular filter. Dunno about you guys running only 5 qts to prevent windage, last I checked 7qts and a regular filter still wont hit the crank...5 qts and a corner and high rpm MIGHT spin a bearing though...

5.5 qts with moble one filter

All GTO's get 6.5 to fill it. Funny thing is the owner's manual says to add a quart when racing and then drain that quart back out when finished. So that's 7.5 quarts!

I run 6 plus long filter, then added 1 qt for a/x and left it in. No problems yet.

6 and a long filter, no probs

I don't get it. I use a regular sized filter and my car has always taken 6 quarts to reach the full mark.

7 quarts here.. because i have an oil cooler with swallows 1 quart...
