For those few who may be interested, here's an album I just posted showing
the Cad 500 engine oil pan filled with successive quarts of water to
measure its capacity.

What it shows is that the pan will actually hold 7 quarts of oil without
reaching the level of the crankshaft, for what value that information may
have.

It also shows that the front portion of the pan (equipped with an OEM drain
plug) holds only about 26 oz vs the full 32 oz quart held by the Olds' pan.

Maybe this will help someone with dipstick calibration.
