Thanks guys for the confirmation, every single vehicle I've owned prior to this were designed with oil pans that actually drained better using ramps, with the drain plug on the back middle, I should have paid more attention to the setup on this vehicle.

I always under fill until I get the engine up to temp and top off properly, but even filling with 7.75 quarts I was still quite a bit over.

Next time I'll do it level, thanks again.

Note - Read up on some earlier threads on this, even though I was 3/4 of a quart over, I never got the HI warning and beep for overfilling. The dash oil level stated I was "OK". I guess you need to be at least a quart or more over to get the warning, but still drained that extra oil using a siphon down the dip stick tube.
