How much oil for this 440?

[Drache]

EDIT: Ok so simply put, I forgot what the previous owner said for amount of oil and since the dipstick is not for this 440, that is no help. Standard 440s take 4+1 no? Yet this oil pan seems to be deeper than a stock one or is that just me?

What is the psi that you have in your 440 (Cold then hot) and what weight of oil do you use?

10/40 high mileage high zinc Castrol gtx , 85 psi cold , 60 hot , wix racing filter.

10w30 cheap stuff, 75psi, 50 at idle hot, Fram filter on high volume pump.

my 1967 chrysler factory service manual shows a 440. min psi @ 500RPM 20 psi. at 1000 RPM 46-65 PSI. IMHO a small variation would not be bad. my dad told me that if the oil psi came up with the RPM off idle you was good.

very true... dont need 60 lbs hot idle...need bigger numbers at higher rpms..

There, I fixed your signature.

Then it is 40W oil. The 0W the weight until it gets up to temperature.

Ok here's a question. Changing the oil and I realized I have no idea how much it would take. Normally a 440 takes 4+1 if changing the filter but my oil pan looks a lot deeper than a stock pan? (Yes I know it's dirty under there)

 

[krazykuda]

There was a 6 1/2 or 7 quart pan on the 6 packs and hemis from the factory.... It will fit the standard 440 also...

 

[Drache]

Not a stock motor or oil pan for sure. Tried to see if there was a number on the back but was nothing.

Ditch that fram. Seen many an engine destroyed with fram filters.

Rotella 15w-40, Mopar oil filter, excellent oil pressure.

Bro, That's your tranny pan in the picture, not your oil pan!

 

[charger426]

Lol yeah that's the trans pan. Your oil pan is the orange colored one. Looks stock to me.

 

[jdsduster]

lol

 

[Drache]

Bro, That's your tranny pan in the picture, not your oil pan!

Realized that after I posted it. Been without sleep for 48 hours. :banghead:

I dont get it I took a picture of the front of the oil pan, why did I take a picture of the trans pan?

Damn I need to be able to sleep some nights.

 

[bOb shingler]

how hard can this be? put enough oil in it until it's on the full mark on the stick. now get some sleep.

 

[hangn0ut]

Picture is fine. That's an extra deep trans pan there! Engine pan looks like a pan used on 6 packs and hemis. Factory skid plate would cover that pan real nice. Add 1quart more oil.

I was betting someone would say that. It's on right now, I'll swap it next oil change. I've never had an issue with Fram filters, or any filters for that matter, but I know how this forum feels about them.

 

[tarvin890]

ima guessing 6 qts.

 

[scooby67]

Holy cannoli! Drain the oil and replace the filter with whatever flavor you desire. Spill in 5 quarts and check the dipstick. If you're full, wonderful. If not, throw in another quart. Come on now!
