Oversized Oil Pan Oil Level Reading Correct at 3 Quarts - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hello everyone,
I have an oversized oil pan on my SR. The weird thing is that, when I change my oil, the dipstick reads between the lines at only 3 quarts. I let the oil drain for about 10 minutes, so I know almost all of it drained. I know the stock oil capacity is 3>3.5 quarts and the oversized is 4>4.5 quarts. I feel the engine sputtering and I don't want it to starve oil. What are my options?

Wishing you all the best,
Carlos Doria
