Yup and just for the record, the manual states the following for "correct measurement of the dipstick"

1. Car must be level
2. Engine at operating temp
3. Let oil drain back to the sump for a few minutes

And viola.... the oil level is at the full mark (not beyond), e-gauge at 1 bar above max and I end up with smokey starts everytime... Hence my questions...
