The sight glass is a great idea. With the measurements given by Ken, it should be a simple procedure to find the full mark on the dipstick. You'll have to measure the oil level while static, engine off just as we measure our oil level. Doing it with the engine running would give a false reading with all the oil at the top of and through out the engine. You may have to crimp or block the oil cooler lines if they can drain back to the pan although they may not be able too. The way the oil is routed to the cooler seems it would eliminate the drain back, but I'm just guessing there. You would think that GM would have made alowances for drain back and dip stick calibrations if it were necessary. Just my thoughts,
