How many quarts of oil for an oil change that includes dropping the sump pan?

Sorry I wasn't trying to be a smart arse -- just read your message a little too literally.

You'll have a little trapped in the baffles and some drippage, but if it is drained first -- then you will not have much left.

Assuming you are tracking it because you are adding the baffle -- I would consider getting the deep sump kit too (0.5qt), just a little bit more margin.

I did both to my S in December before any track days.

I would like to get the extra .5 quart but the ones I looked at didn't seem to be compatible with the EBS baffle with the exception of the super $$$ LN Engineering one. For that price I may as well get the super expensive FVD baffle/deep sump all in one.

Because I got a good price on the EBS baffle I went with that, plus I like the all stainless doors.

School me: which .5 quart deep sump kit will go with the EBS baffle. Otherwise if I do just the baffle I will probable always have it in the back of my mind that I should have gotten the spacer too

Ordered the BK one through EBS when I ordered their baffle kit -- they drop shipped it from BK -- and BK now included the pickup lowering gasket.
Or it might have been that EBS makes a compatible baffle for the deep sump kit or both. Call up EBS -- they were of great help.
Got a better deal from EBS as a combo set. This was back in Dec.

All cool; I didn't read it that way

10qts should be enough. JG DT40 is sold in a case of 12 anyway. Just get the car as level as you can to drain the most before you remove the sump cover. Don't forget the sealant & LN magnetic drain plug & washer.
