Why did the level reading change after one day and why does 9L not bring the level to the top arrow when the capacity is supposed to be a little less than 9L?
because the oil sensors suck...they are positioned poorly and they are seemingly incapable of taking a precise reading. you're never going to get an accurate measurement.
