Question X5 e53 4.4I oil change, after 8.5 qts
I followed TQ2K's great tutorial, about 1 qt of oil in the oil filter container, after putting the remaining oil in, the oil line barely reaches the MIN mark on the oil stick, even after letting it settling for a while.

Is this normal? I figure I probably need to put in a total of 9 qts or more so that the oil line can reach half way between MIN and MAX.

I searched up and down this forum, can't find the answer.
