Simple ( Stupid ) Oil Change Question

So I just completed my first oil change after picking up a 2017 Zl1 a couple weeks ago. Bought it was 2700 miles on it and didn't trust the dealer followed the necassary oil changes at 500 and 1500 miles so I figured I'd do it myself.

I was having a hard time reading the dipstick, in terms of seeing oil level obviously and I panicked thinking this thing was way low. Long story short I pulled the dip plug and probably 8-10 quarts poured out thank goodness and I refilled with just over 9 and 1/4 quarts to start and then subsequently top it off with small pours from there on.

The thing is.. I still can't see the oil level for shit on my dipstick

I imagine ( hoping ) this is operator error here. There are no leaks as I've checked several times now.


and 10 quarts is the right amount correct?
