I have been looking at this vehicle, with a v8. Which engine do you
have? I'm guessing you have one of the ones designed to be more fuel
efficient. I'm a "little suspicious" of them, either because I'm not
comfortable with change or I because don't know any better, or
both..lol. What say you?

Note that there is a service bulletin:

Yes I heard of that bulletin just after the oil consumption dropped. I
understand from an owner on YouTube the the new dipstick has a wider
range between full and the add oil mark.
