917 and 187 oil pans oil capacity?

[BAD69FURY]

hey guys, I have 2 cars with 440's in them and have been running them with 6 quarts including filter change until recently. I was showing 1 inch over the full mark on my dipsticks.

I heard recently that these oil pans 917 and 187 are 5 quart pans including filter.

Is that correct? or am i ok to continue with 6 quarts?

thanks

I'm not sure of the number on the pan for my 440, but I've always done 5 qts and an oil and filter change.

Oil and filter change requires 5 qts.
