The dipstick still showed the oil level a tiny bit below the half way mark 30 minutes after start up. So this tells me these engines take a tad bit more than ten quarts. I know people in this thread swear up and down these engines are ten quart engines no matter what. Today's results from my experience prove otherwise.....
(Note: I haven't changed my oil yet as my 2020 2SS only has 91 miles on it) But I have found on my other cars, if I let them drain a long time (30+ minutes) they tend to take a bit more oil than the stated amount in the manual (1/4 to maybe 1/2 qt)... Not sure if that is the same on the LT1, but I imagine it could be, especially on a 10qt engine...
