I believe I seen an article on here awhile ago about some 5oh's having a longer dipstick than they should.

My 1990 shows everytime I change the oil it is 1/2 quart overfull. (I;m using the correct filter). I know 5oh's dont take 4 and 1/2 quarts, so whats they deal?? It has a newer 5 liter motor in it, replaced by fairlawn ford in youngstown ohio in 1994 do to a broken oil pump shaft. when i check the oil with my friends 93 its on the level full mark and his is about an inch shorter than mine, (dipstick that is haa haa).

I have a 92 and mine does the same thing. It may be wrong but I only run 4 1/2 quarts in it. I have run in the quarter at 6200 rpmon the big end many timesand never lost oil pressure so it isn't hurting anything.

Make sure you take out both drain plugs. The frontpart of the oil pancould hold about 1/4-1/2 quart. That got me once, and now the oil on the dipstick reads right where it's supposed to
