New Oil Pan Capacity I have a 2001 ZO6 engine. I changed the oil pan to have ground clearance. The guy I bought it from said it came off a LS3crate engine but I’m not sure. It has a GM #12624617 on the bottom of the pan . Its 5” deep. I’m not sure how much oil to put in the engine now. I don’t want over or under fill it. Anyone else used this pan?
that GM part number and let us know what you find. Below was what I found for that part number and if you research oil capacity for those model year cars it will tell you that it's 6 qts.https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/oem-pa...l-pan-12624617

Also the windage tray maybe different then the one you have. Usually when switching oil pans you buy the pan, pickup tube, windage tray, dipstick and dipstick tube all for the application.In your case a 2008 base mode corvette would be what you would order all those parts for
Engine will run fine with 5.5 qts. You could go 6.5 qts and all will be fine. Oil pan capacity might be 5.5, but the other half quart is in the filter and the galleries. Dump 6 quarts in, (I pre-fill my filters, but you don’t have to) start it up. Wait 5 minutes, pull dipstick and scribe new oil location on your stick. Go do burnouts.
