I know this issue may have been tossed around a bit, but I beleive there is something with the stated oil capacity for these engine.
Vehicle - 2024 Yukon Denali XL 6.2l gas engine. Everything I read indicated that the engine oil capacity is 8 qts with filter. Change initial oil at 500 miles, before changing checked dipstick and oil was full. Drained oil, change filter, being a bit conservitive I put 7 quarts in, started engine, let run about 5 minutes, shut engine off and check oil level. Nothing showing on dipstick. Added 8th qt, waited a bit, checked oil, nothing on dipstick. Started engine ran for about 15 minutes, shut off, again, checked dip stick, nothing showing. Waited until following morning, checked oil again, nothing showing on dipstick. Added a 9th quart of oil, now dipstick show full oil level. Have driven a bit and have checked oil several times and oil shows a full, not overfull.
So the question is has anyone else run into this situation? I do not want to hear all the published data indicated 8 quarts with filter, I know this and this is what I have seen EVERYWHERE, but clearly in my case, my vehicle took 9 quarts with filter and based on the level check before the oil drain, this is what I am going to contiue with.
Unclear if there is/was a typo in the spec documentation. I doubt the factory would even bother checking the oil level in the engine, they fill the engine as required, possibly over fill because of the engine oil cooler capacity required then once the engine is installed and started, the oil level is correct??
Would like to hear others perspective other than 8 quarts with filter is what the specs say. I have seen many wrong specs and typos over the years!
