[Tigers] MKII oil cooler capacity

[Ron Fraser]

Richard
 
    A stock 289 engine with the 1 qt filter requires 5 qt oil with a filter
change.
 
Since the Mk II requires 5.7 qts my best guess is that the oil cooler and
hoses hold about .7 qts.
I have never measured an oil cooler so I don't know for sure.
 
Chances are the oil cooler does not drain unless there is a tap under the
oil cooler for it to drain.
 
I would say 5 qts with a filter change is correct.
 
The original dipstick will probably read .7" above the FULL mark for 4 qts
in the sump

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.
