  That's a bunch more variables, Grumpy might be able to calculate it, I'm not going to. 😄 Thanks for sharing, number 6 seems risky given the owner's manual statements:

  Oil dipsticks have a range (usually marked with "L" and "F" or a crosshatched area) because oil naturally expands as it gets hot. This range gives your engine a safe margin of operation, ensuring there is enough oil to properly lubricate moving parts without overfilling it past the maximum

  This started several GM updates ago. My Android phone says it is connected, but from the truck, it says it can't connect. I have deleted the phone and resynced it, I have done a hard reset on the infotainment system (works for a couple of starts), I have tried BT and USB.

  My oil is at operating temperature when drained. The oil is cool going in. The amount that’s called for goes in. Then it’s started. Then shut off and if needed filled to the top of the line. Now days no matter where I go they use bulk oil. Valvoline or Honda. Valvoline they show me the stick I’m sitting in the vehicle during. Honda I’m watching through a plate glass window. Around every 1000 miles I check at the same gas pump at Kroger’s while I’m getting gas. The oil is at the top hatch in all my vehicles. It’s usually very hard to see because it’s clean.
