Ok, so I took the Boxster to a local oil place and they drained it and put in 9.25 quarts of Mobil 0W40 and the dip stick say's it's at max but the electronic guage says it's over filled. It's conceivable that the oil dude didn't let it fully drain...

What's the deal and who/what do I trust?

Any insight is appreciated.
