[QUOTE="charliebates, post: 166233, member: 2483"] FWIW I have motorcycles that have the dry sump and it is standard practice to fill the oil in two stages. Do a partial fill as specified in the manual, run the engine for a specific time and then finish filling. Otherwise the oil can overflow and make a mess. Some don’t understand the dry sump and will check the oil cold. They don’t get any oil showing on the dipstick and will add. As soon as they run the engine it overflows the oil and there is a mess. The way to avoid this 2 stage filling be to build a reservoir into the design to handle the overflow. I expect that is the design of your Corvettes but I would expect specific instructions to check the oil properly. Like running the engine to have hot oil, then shut down the engine and after a set still time, check the oil. Am I close guys? [/QUOTE]
