987 oil overfill

One of the posters on ppbb -- whose 987 is having its engine replaced at 27K miles after intermediate shaft failure -- says he checked his service records and found the dealer was overfilling oil by two quarts. I checked my own records for one year service on my 987S and found that I, too, was charged for 10 quarts when the manual calls for "2.05 U.S. gallons" for an oil change that includes a new filter. My gauge seems to read OK, but I gave the dealer almost 20 bucks for the missing two quarts.

Apparently 986 requires 10 quarts, while 987 takes less. Anyone here have the same experience?
