Thank you for clearing that up for me.
I can't comment on the numbers as I've never had an analysis done.

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....
