Biggest problem we run into, the LT1 uses 10qts of oil. The prev LS3 used anywhere from 6-8 depending on model.

Tech prob only put in 6qts, GM has came out and said under normal circumstances 6qts wont hurt anything.

Also the LT1 needs about 30-45 minutes for the oil to drain back in order to take a correct reading off of the dipstick. Some techs make a mistake of checking it too soon or incorrectly.
