Good to know. That's 4% then. My youngest child's Pontiac only takes 4 qts with an oil change, and leaving 10% of the oil in that isn't something I'd do for full length oil change.

I don't think my filters hold more than 1/4 quart. For a Z51 that's about 3 % of the 9.5 qt capacity.

Thanks. Leaving it in place made more sense, but I hadn't previously used a filter for more than one OCI.

I use cheapest Fram or ST filters on my kids’ and wife’s cars at 5-7.5 k mile OCI and always change filter and use M1 or ST or Costco/KS synthetic at OEM oil weight recommendation. My DD are a 2017 Z51 Corvette and 2000 S2000. I will drive each 3-4k miles a year and use or will use Fram TG...

For one, as stated up front, I want to use 5qt jugs from Walmart. They do have multiple choices but I have euro spec M1 from my Porsche I just sold to get a Corvette, and I guess I just wanted someone to say that the euro 0W or 5W40 was reasonable to use up. I would probably move to DEXOS spec...

Go extra guard and use factory recommendation for changing depending on normal or severe conditions.

Thanks for responses. I’ll keep track of any oil loss so I don’t have an issue on the emission equipment side. I’ll probably mix a jug of M1 5w40 and 0w40 for the corvette and see how it goes using up my old Porsche 997 oil then decide what to use the next year. A really good 0w30 is attractive...

So I plan to DD my 2017 Z51 year round from 10-20 degrees to 95 degrees. I can use DEXOS 5w30 M1 but I would like to use readily available 0w 40 like M1 FS euro spec from Walmart. I also have 10 qts leftover M1 5w40 from earlier this year I’d like to use up. I have no warranty and will do yearly...
