[Tigers] MKII oil cooler capacity

[Tom Witt]

Richard,
  I’m sitting here sort of chuckling because not too long ago a list member did extensive testing on dipstick levels under various engine angles etc. Some thought he had extensively gone over the top. Any yet here it is with you asking a question that his testing had not ventured to. Kind of ironic.
  I do not have an answer for you.  However, if any point of the cooler is below the cooler lines it would stand to reason that it is not draining. It may be that parking on an angle or jacking the car will cause it to drain.  It maybe that you will have to remove the cooler to see A. if it drains, and B. in filling it independently you can find the volume. You could also try blowing air into the cooler (cooler line) and see if it drains. A separate catch pan would then indicate the volume.

This may have been discussed before, I am relatively new to the List.  What is the oil cooler capacity?  I am trying to figure out if I am using the right quantity of oil in my ‘67 MKII, which has the original oil filter configuration.  I have been putting in 5 quarts.  My manual says oil capacity, engine, filter, and oil cooler is 11.4 us pints or 5.7 quarts. I don’t think I have the original dipstick, so if the oil cooler does not drain how much oil  would be the correct amount.
