Trust the stick not the digital gauge. Let the car sit overnight and check the oil. If the oil is right on the stick then forget the gauge. A mechanical measurement is much more accurate than what the digital gauge will give you.
Also when you fill the car it always reads low on the digital gauge because the oil doens't seep to the pan very quickly so it's gonna look like it's low regardless.
I drain my car for about an hour and fill it with 9 litre's of oil. The book says 8.25 but the fill line on the stick took the full 9 so I went with that. My digital gauge shows right at the max line but not over. If he filled over 9 litre max you might wanna take a bit out. Unless you seriously overfilled the car say by 10% or so you shouldn't run into problems with smoking out the cats.
