don't know about the AOS longevity / underfilling, but...
every other change i purchase 10 qts. when i change the oil i put in 9 qts, then check the level. inevitably i have to add "a little more." maybe 1/4 to nearly 1/2 qt.
that got me thinking, i believe the actual capacity is a little over 9 qts. checked the manual - 9.3 qts, with filter & housing.
