    Milodon oil level

    Just wondering how much oil people are running with a Milodon oil pan. Right now I am running 5 quarts while breaking in the motor. The engine is a 2012 5.7 out of a ram and not using a oil filter relocation kit. I know the stock pan is 7 quarts, just worried about windage.
