My GM info source says your 2012 Chevy 4.3 liter engine will take 4.5 quarts of motor oil during a change, and that includes the filter. Check it after running it a few minutes, and check for leaks.

    1.5L turbo manual says 4.2 quarts of oil. I very carefully added 4.2 quarts. Dipstick reads 1/2 quart low. Added 14 ounces more dip sick reads full. Any body else run into this problem?
