I've had my Cruze for a while now and I noticed everytime I change the oil and oil filter it only takes a little less then 4 quarts of oil to fill it up when the owners manual calls for 4 and a quarter quarts of oil. I'm sure it's not a big deal and my questions rather pointless but I figured I'd make a post and see if other members are experiencing this, or if it's just me. When I change the oil I make sure the cars level, and I also make sure the oil filler cap is open along with the oil filter chamber to allow air to enter to help drain so I'm pretty sure all the oil is escaping the engine when I drain it. Any thoughts?

1.4T calls for 4.25 quarts of oil.
1.8 calls for 4.75 quarts of oil.
That will bring you to the middle of the hash mark on the dipstick at level ground, engine cold.
Topping up to 4.5 quarts on the 1.4T and 5 quarts on the 1.8 will probably get you to the full mark.
