oil sump and dipstick

[BRog]

Is there a way to tell how big sump is to know how many quarts to use? Just changed oil and dipstick shows full at 3 1/2 quarts, which I'm sure can't be right.

my 1967 dart chrysler factory service shows all models to have a 4 qt crankcase. add 1 QT for filter. except hemi. i have never thought of 1/2 QT one way or the other in the crank case as a big trouble. however dad use to say a old type 318 would throw out the first QT or 1/2 QT if filled to full. but now i figure it had more to do with oil quality.

I put in 5 quarts after changing filter too. Thanks
