Extra update: I did message one of the heads of the Blackwing project on another forum yesterday and he said I should be okay since I reacted as soon as I got the warning. He suggested doing a Blackstone analysis at the next change but that was just done yesterday - I should have asked them to...

Since people asked, here is my pride and joy. First new car, first American car, first car I've ever spent this much on (first car I've spent over $45k for in fact). Given I had literally just finished the 1,500 mile break in after 14 months of waiting for the car I ordered and had finally put...

This thread really got active! Thanks for all of your input and different perspectives. Although still miffed, I feel fairly confident now that no damage was done. I was waiting to update as the dealer said they'd get back to me Tues. or Wed. about the powertrain warranty but things got...

It's a wet sump to be clear. Believe same engine (LT4) is dry sump in the C7 Z06 and Camaro 1LE.

I drove 16 miles home from the dealer with no warnings. It was only when I went back out a couple of hours later that the car flashed the Low Oil Level warning. Someone on another forum mentioned something about the sensor taking some time to reset it the oil temp doesn't drop below a certain level?

Rumor is they'll keep building it through 2025 or even later. It's actually getting a refresh for '24. But yes, wouldn't put it past GM to kill it right after a refresh, probably to make way for an electric Camaro...

Took the words out of my mouth. It also has real buttons and a manual transmission!

No one's perfect but this is literally counting to 10 on a six-figure vehicle. That's this guy's whole job. I have historically done my own oil changes and still do on my Lotus. I just thought buying an expensive luxury car (my first brand new car) I could splurge on not having to crawl under...

I mean, it's only a $100k car - why pay attention, take pride in your work, or use common sense? (5.5qts for a 6.2L S/C V8? Hmm.) Or check the dipstick even once? Which I guess I'll be doing every time someone touches my car from here on out.

I didn't specifically note the pressure, but it's in pretty decently-sized digits right next to the tach so I feel fairly confident it would've caught my eye if it dropped to say teens or single digits psi.

That sounds logical and makes sense, thank you! I definitely didn't pull any major g forces. I know a good amount about cars, but have to say oil and oiling systems are not my forte, which is why I'm here.

Yes, the service advisor owned up to their mistake (although said he looked at their inventory of oil and the right amount was used somehow) and is making calls to see about covering an extended warranty. They had proactively offered some free future services but that's how I ended up here. I'm...

Hi all, After 14 months of waiting for my '23 CT5-V Blackwing and 2 months to break it in over 1,500 miles, I took it to my Cadillac dealer on Monday for its first oil change. 20 miles later (mostly highway) I found out that they only used ~5.5qts to refill rather than the 9-10 it is supposed...
