Would you add any oil??
Hi guys, I changed my oil post storage and I let it drain for an hour. Now after adding 8.8l of oil this is the reading...
Would you guys add or leave it be?? I went for a 60km drive and reset the reading at idel twice with same results. Thanks for the advice Alex ***Pictures added

your forgot to attach the reading...
i would add a bit of oil if its under the level and always keep one liter in the trunk just incase. Also check under the car and around the engine for oil if everything is clean just add some oil.

if its low be cautious about only adding a small amount at a time or it will then say overfull. my e46 had this weird thing under the hood that has oil on the end of it?

This time I let it drain for about an hour so I added 250ml more than usual, yet the reading is really low... I was convinced this car took 9L to fill...

yep give it a few key cycles and reading before you decide it needs more.
