LS swap oil pan oil capacity
It depends on the pan:
| Pan | Capacity (per source) |
|---|---|
| F-body-style (Holley aluminum) | about 5 qt |
| Chevrolet Performance Muscle Car swap pan | about 5.5 qt |
| Moroso LS swap front-sump pan | 6.5 qt |
| Speedway steel LS swap pan | 7 qt |
| Moroso 7 qt LS swap pan | 7 qt |
Speedway notes the truck pans hold more because GM built them for trucks, but they're too deep for most swaps.
