Got a source on that oil capacity? Everywhere I look I am seeing 6.5L. I'd love an authoritative source if you have one.

I did not mean to imply this is my first oil change ever. Just the first one on this car under my ownership. I've done countless oil changes, and I've always lubed the seals.

According to the owners manual it's 7.5 liters.

Now you have me opening up my physical copy of the service manual.
Seems you're right (page 173 in mine, Technical Data section).
I'll update my post.

Only mentioned that because it was the first time I'd installed a cartridge-type filter and not a spin-on, and when I torqued the cap down it bulged out and leaked about $15 of fresh LiquiMoly from my garage to work. The trail is probably still there...
