If they use 9.2 quarts you get charged for 10. Someone in the shop gets to keep the .8 leftover.
2 weeks ago I changed my oil first time. Engine was @ operating temp and I let it drain for over an hour. I also changed the filter. So, stupid me, (in somekind of hurry to get to drive again), poured 9qts in. And of course it was over full.

I had to take filter off twice and empty it, before it was just 'full'.
