SVTDEMON Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Is the oil capacity any different on Hybrid 3.0s? If you use a Escape Longblock,should you use an escape oil filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefury Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Is the oil capacity any different on Hybrid 3.0s? If you use a Escape Longblock,should you use an escape oil filter? I have a hybrid and the oil capacity is a little different, buts that's because of the slightly deeper Escape oil pan I use. The oil filter is the same for a Escape longblock as it is for the Contour V6 :) Edited May 8, 2010 by Icefury 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spridget Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I still dump in 6qts before I even check the dipstick (that's about .5 qt in the filter before installation, and 5.5qts through the filler neck). Oil level reads on the high fill mark of the crosshatches on the dipstick after the engine has run for a moment. I'm using a 2001 Taurus block with SVT heads, oil pan, and oil cooler. The newer FL820S filters are slightly smaller and have a bit less capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note the 3.0 from the escape gets 6 quarts ,so probably safe to say on a hybrid 5.7- 5.9 quarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried because I put in about 5.9 q and was wondering if that was enough(full on dipstick). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikenbomb Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) I use 6 qts of oil and that pretty much takes me to the max fill line. IIRC I still use the SVT oil pan, no other oil pan on it. I also use the FL820S oil filter as well. If Dom built your motor SVTDEMON, chances are you have a Taurus 3L.

Dom did build his motor,but he told me it was from an Escape. Who Knows? Dom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeSVT Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Not an Escape motor, 2005 Sable motor. We have not ever used an Escape motor (why pay $300+ more for the same motor?). -Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
