That is a great question, and one that I have been wondering myself. I have read that early production 08's have an 8 quart tank, while later production cars have an 8.5 quart tank. My manual states 8 quarts, but when my oil was changed at Abel Chevrolet, Richie told me that my car took slightly over 8 quarts, leading me to believe that I have the larger tank, but the manual was not updated. My car was produced on March/April of 08. The 09's do have a 10.5 quart tank.
