Hi,
I have a 2019 non 1LE.
This is how I get consistent/accurate oil level readings.
Make sure the car is on a level surface.
I always take measurements in the same spot in my garage.
I always do it after the car sits parked for at least an hour.
I always pull the dipstick completely out of the tube.
I wipe the dipstick dry and let it sit out of the car for at least 10 minutes.
This lets any residual oil in the dipstick tube drain back into the pan.
I found if you don't do this, the residual oil left in the tube that will give inaccurate oil level readings.
I do my own oil changes.
When I drain the out the old oil, I let it drip for at least an hour to make sure it's completely drained.
I fill in 9.5 quarts and slowly add in the last 1/2 quart after driving it for a couple miles. Taking readings using the above process.
My car has always taken the complete 10 quarts.
Doing the above procedure, the dipstick always shows oil at halfway on the hashmark area of the dipstick. This according to my 2019 owners manual indicates that it's full.
Just thought I'd share.
