9.0 in my dry sump is the sweet spot. Doing an oil change by the dealer Wednesday, I am bringing 9 quarts of mobil 1 with a filter and $20 for the job. They are also replacing my water pump under warranty.

I had the big 500 mile oil change today and every thing went GREAT! Mobil 1 oil, correct amount. Corvette tech made comment about quality of my permanent jacking pucks. Very nice Corvette tech went out of his way to answer any questions I had. Ok now I can relax job is done. !!!

Probably different dealer to dealer, but my dealer has a certified Corvette tech and he is the ONLY one that changes the oil in the Corvettes - I know because they have a 1/2 block wall and I can go out and watch him do it. Also talked to him, which is when he gave me credit for installing lift pucks and a catch can.

My my car is a 17 GS with the side skirts on and when I did my 500 mile oil change corvette tech when done went out of way to make a comment on the quality and how good they worked. I also checked under car to make sure everything was good there where no marks , cracks at all. I don't have floor jack to try.

For the 500 mile oil change on our Z51, I asked the tech to put in 9 qts and give me the 10th to add at home so I could bring it up to full but not over. He was happy to do that.
When adding the extra oil at home, I had to get out my dedicated oil funnel to pour some in, looked like pouring from a full qt bottle into the dry sump tank could get messy.
