Stock oil pan capacity?

So.. what is the stock oil pan capacity of a LT1? the owner before me jumped a curb or something and my oil pan is dented..although it prolly doesnt do much, (oil pressures fine, its not leaking afik)..i want to get a new one..

ive found a few that have 4qt capacities.. ones chrome plated, the others unplated..since the plated costs only 10$ more., should i get it? is 4tqt enough? i have a 97 SS and i know i have a oil cooler..so do i need anything else..?

My 94 Z takes 5qts. 4 qts may work, but depends on your driving style, engine mods, etc. You don't want to starve your engine of oil and spin a bearing or anything. I would stick with the 5 if you can.

Definitely go with the 5-quart pan. The more oil in the pan, the more available to the engine, the slower it warms up, the longer it lasts. If you have the room for it, use a 1-quart filter as well (such as AC Delco PF35).

hm, okay so ill go with the 5 quart.. is that the stock? and if it is, where do i get them..

thanks for the help guys :D

Stock oil capacity is 5 qts, this includes the oil filter. If you replace the pan, do not use a chrome plated one, they have troubles sealing properly and are prone to leaks.

summit has a 5 quart one for 250$
