yes, including filter which on the 522 is a K&P http://kandpengineering.com/ that doesn't hold much and a Wix Racing filter on the 598 that holds about 1/2 quart but soon to be replaced with a K&P also.

BUT as you know , I've had oil starvation issues and as a part of my "shotgun" approach , I was thinking of adding oil. As of now the 355 has 6 quarts total ( includes filter ).............I'll probably add another quart. |

Re: Oil capacity.......what do you run?
Your oil starvation issues are not due to running up to 1 1/2 quarts shy.

Re: Oil capacity.......what do you run?
Joe,
I am running 6 qts of the 30w Lightning Racing Oil in my 350. I have a Moroso Billet oil pump and an 8 qt pan. I also run a System One filter. I have run as much as 7 qts and as low as 5 qts with no issue. If you are bracket racing I would run 7 qts.
