I agree the that that the 9.3 liters comment was just that, a comment based on what you had filled out.

I don't know how long you've had your car but my way of refilling is to do a change (incl. filter) and put 8.5L in and then drive home (~4 miles). After the car is cooled, I add whatever quantity was necessary to achieve a level between and half full and completely full. Just don't want to overfill....
I'll try that approach. I just wham-bammed... put in 9 quarts... checked the level... kept adding until reaching 9.3 (more like 9.4-9.5) until it hit the mark. I did wait for the oil to settle, maybe an hour. My next change will be more accurate. Thank you for the tip.
