On the oil change and the stated capacity of 12 qts.

After tearing down several LT5's, I come to the conclusion that there may be a qt of oil in the oil cooler. The rest is in all sorts of little nooks & crannies in the cylinder heads, lifters, oil filter housing. etc. , that just never drains down. The appx 12 qt capacity is for a new, completely dry engine & filter.

I've cleared my oil cooler before with an oil change and doesn't even come close to 11qts.
