Oil change question

I finally got around to changing my oil for winter hibernation. I typically do with the car level but this time I just backed the car onto ramps. The oil in car had about 1k on them. I changed filter and let oil drop until it stopped. I added 9 quarts thinking I could top off after. I got car up to temperature today and then parked car in garage. Checked oil with the oil level sensor in car ( after sitting for 15 mins). It read really high. Is it possible that with car at a tilt, there was still over a quart of oil in engine? I checked dip stick and it seemed low though I just have a tough time trusting that. That design is awful. Feel like the dip stick is going to bend. Please note, battery was disconnected. Not sure if that with and the horrible weather could give a poor reading.
Thanks.
