1968 stock 318 in a Barracuda. FSM says ALL Plymouth motors except 426 have an oil capacity of 4 quarts. Dipstick has 4 qts just touching the bottom of the full marked section. Of course this includes whatever is in the filter. I always thought that these v8's took 5 qts. With 5 qts. dipstick is right in the middle of the full area. After driving a few hundred miles after filling with 5 qts the car always drops to the 4 qt level and holds. So what is the real/official oil capacity for these motors?
Confused and puzzled.
