I run it, it holds an extra 1/2 quart of oil. Only downside is it hangs maybe 1.5-2" lower than the stocker.

I run it car takes a full six quarts with it and i wouldnt worry about bottoming it out since the oil pan hangs just as low as the filter

the k-memeber hangs lower than the filter...so most cases the k member will bang before the oil filter...
