Level in oil tank

[JoeMag]

Gents -- Where is the oil level in the tank when it's considered full? ...usual settings: engine running, normal op temps, etc

[Flat6pac]

Just over half way in the tank at operating temp.
The 10 qts expands about 2 quarts between cold and hot.

Thanks Bruce... are you saying there's about 10 qtz in tank when it's "full"?

[Flat6pac]

The usual oil change is about 10 qts
Draining, you have a couple in the engine case and the restin the tank.
Nothing gets back from,the thermostat from the front cooler.

to emphasis why he qualifies his answer with "at operating temperature"
