I recently completed my first oil change in my 2019 Silverado LT with a 5.3 V8. After reading in the owner's manual that the capacity is 8 quarts, I put exaclty that into the engine. I waited about 30 minutes for the oil to settle and read the dipstick, but the the oil level did not register on the dipstick. The factory (or dealer) put enough oil in to register halfway up the dipstick, but they must have put 9 or 10 quarts in order to do this. My question is what could be going on? Do I fill the oil up to an acceptable level on the dipstick and run the risk of damage to the engine by running too much oil or do I just keep the 8 quarts and run the risk of running too little oil? Did they give me the wrong dipstick?
