Re: 5 Quarts oil way to much?

If I add 4 1/2 qts with filter, it shows the level as full. As previously mentioned, if I add an additional 1/2 qt (which I occasionally do) it will show the same as yours.

It’s no big deal if you add 5-qts, it will not harm anything. It could be that GM finally decided that most people would not add oil until the dipstick is showing a quart low; so in theory, if you are driving @ highway speeds with 3 1/2 qts in the engine, you have 2-qts circulating and only 1-qt in the pan. Now if you are driving @ beyond normal highway speeds, or on curvy roads, 1-qt in the pan could present a problem, hence the additional recommended ½ qt! Logical thinking!
OK, thanks for the input. I don't understand why a 1/2 quart goes up so far? Seems like a lot more then 1/2 Q. This is after I drove also. Waite a little longer and it's even higher.

Disgusting.
