[DeTomaso] Armando Pan - 8 quarts or 10

[Mike Thomas]

I've just done the first full oil/filter change on my new motor with an
Armando oil pan.  Are these things 8 or 10  quarts?  I put 8 quarts in, ran
the motor for a while to make sure the new filter was flooded and let it sit
to settle while I was working on something else.  When I checked the
dipstick with the 8 quarts in, it registers just below the full line.
Should I add the other 2 quarts?  I do recall reading that we should run
over what the stick reads, and it reads the same for this pan as the stock
pan..

By the by, what experience does the list have with Amsoil Synthetic 10/40.
This is what my builder recommended following the break-in, and what I put
in today.

Thanks in advance!
