I haven't tried this yet and I'm not even sure if you can cut it down enough for that to work but figured I would chime in just in case anyone was wondering.

How much oil did you put in? I'm coming up on my first oil change with the fbm pan and I'm worried the dipstick isnt a solid measurement.
A little while back I asked full blown how much oil to put in and they replied "Our oil pan holds 50% more than the OEM pan. So that is about 1 quart". If oem capacity is 5.5 qts then it should now be 6.5 qts. I also have fbm's oil cooler, which I'm assuming holds an additional quart, but that oil wont drain during an oil change so I'll disregard it.
