Default Moroso pan /stock dip stick

Looking for some info on this moroso pan for my lt1 PN 20185

I need to know if I can use my stock dip stick with it??? I'm not showing much oil and I have a little over 6qts. Anyone got any similar setups?

I never checked it when I first put my oil in, it's drove about 200 miles and has a small oil leak. That's why I'm asking, I'm not sure if a bunch of oil leaked out, no low oil light though.

Thanks.

I'd pull the dipstick tube, and start chopping the end off until your 6qts, or however much you want to run, shows full on the 'stick.

That's a great idea. You had me going for a minute, I was thinking I had to take it our then cut the base, I thought about for another minute and I could just cut the top like you ment lol.

Still if anyone knows how it should be chime in. I'll probably empty the oil and re measure it in the next few days.

Still might want to take it out when you cut it, metal shavings and all.
