The oil level is by ANGLE and regardless of the correct amount oil in the engine [7.900mll], will be showing lower on the dipstick by 1/2 ...... [1L is between min and max]-- it have to be overfilled [by 'round 400mll] in order to get CLOSE to the max on the dipstick .....
Never had "problems" with the dipstick reading on any other cars if compared to the X's .....
