You already added over 9 quarts and still 1/2 quart Low? Make sure the engine is comepletely warm and check again. The last time I used this much oil on my 986 I bew my AOS a couple days later.

Anyone else use more than 9 qts of oil to fill after an oil change?

SORRY. Typo. 8.75 quarts added. Not over 9.

After allowing the oil to settle, the gauge reads one bar under the "^" arrow
