Oil pan question

[Spiderman99]

Newbie to vintage BMW ownership!
I just purchased a 1968 R60US and replaced all the fluids.
I have a question regarding whether I have a stock oil pan (2 quarts) or deep oil pan (3.7 quarts).
The depth of my pan is about 2.25”

Welcome! Definitely not the stock oil pan. Here's a picture of my stock pan...I was experimenting with magnet placement.

Would you be able to tell be the depth of your pan?

Barely an inch??? It's installed...not easy to get down there. Here's a side picture I took when doing my bottom end. You can see how much of the pan sticks out past the engine case...not much.

I think that may be a Bowman oil pan...way you can tell is the Bowman has a hole for an oil temp sender as well as the oil drain plug hole. Nice ancient accessory item if so. I seem to recall the oil temp sender from a 6 volt VW will fit?...others will chime in?

Ditch that thing for a standard pan. If the bike needed more than 2 quarts, the guys who designed it would’ve said so. Oil changes with the standard pan are easy peasy. Drain hot oil, dump in 2 quarts and go. No measuring or fiddling around.

Someone’s always trying to reinvent the wheel and in this case it’s not worth the trouble.

Bonjour à tous !
Là aussi, les avis sont partagés sur l'utilité d'augmenter le volume d'huile...
Personnellement, je trouve ce carter aluminium très joli, je l'ai adapté (en plus de profondes modifications du circuit d'huile).
En agrandissant l'image, on peut l'apercevoir, sur cette r50s.

Voilà, le montage !
Attention, il faut parfois modifier la rallonge de la crépine d'huile !

Usually extension and all bolts are coming as set with deep oil pan ready to fit.
