Engine Oil and type?
How many quarts does the 5.3 truck hold with a filter.
I heard that the only filter to use was a A/C, because of some internal valving, is that true? What weight oil is everyone using |

It helps with dry starts, and iirc it also helps with vehicles that have the filter mounted in a way that can cause the filter to run dry (Remotes). This was something that I remember getting brought up as an issue on older high performance motors, but I'm not sure if on todays engines running synthetic oil it even matters much. A/c isn't the only one, as WIX and others have also used it for a while. Certain part #'s don't have it, as certain vehicles don't benefit from it. I try to avoid any super-cheapie filters, but I've used WIX, A/C, the Royal Purple brand, and a few others. There used to be big problems with fram, not sure how they are now. |

6 quarts for a truck pan, Gen III truck engines take an AC PF46, All crosses to this filter have a Anti Drain Back Valve. 5W30 is the oil spec.

Thanks guys, I must have the wrong indicator stick as I think I put 7 qts before it registered, and I did put in a Wix.
I guess I will change filters that should take care of most of it ! |

Great, TBSS headers and a truck oil pan on a 5.3, the truck tube did not fit the headers, so I will try something different

Re: Engine Oil and type?
You sure? The truck tube will fit, just don't bolt to to the head right away. Let it sag towards the next cylinder a little for clearance, and you can just tac a new bracket on.

I used tbss manifolds and the stock truck dip stick and tube fit

It will not work IF YOU bend it too far, and then try and straighten it out !!!!!!
