Remarks about this matter
*I changed my oil 3 months ago
*I walked about 1000 kilometers on it
*Last time i checked the oil was about two weeks ago and it was normal
*the car runs and drives normal nothing changed
Please any information will be helpful and much appreciated

no leaks at all? any in the radiator?

btw what kind of a leash do you use when walking a tahoe? i bet after a 1000 kilo walk it was famished and drank the oil to stay hydrated.

Anywhere in that hash mark is considered full that picture of the dipstick appears as you have oil above the hash mark. Overfilling the engine should be avoided.

correct. if in the cross hatch pattern you are fine. you appear to have nothing to worry about. for future reference grab the pdf file below. it is your owners manual that will explain such things and how to best address them.it has all the details on how to use the different funtions of the vehicle but keep in mind some part numbers used for maintenance may be superseded.
