They also could be looking at a different year, I think before 2019 Camaro and Corvette use 5W-30 stock, but starting from 2019, 0W-40 ESP is the facotry fill and default oil.

And as the other thread mentioned, the dipstick in our car is pretty terrible. Pretty hard to read. You can tell if the car is underfilled, but hard to read if it's overfilled.
When I change the oil and put 10 quarts in, the dipstick reads dead middle of the hash mark area.
My first instinct was to fill to the top of the hash mark, then I thought about it.
10 quarts in the pan, oil in middle of scale on dipstick. Perfect.
You can tell low or high as the middle is full.
