Give it sometime to recalibrate. It can take as many as up to 5 driving cycles for the reading to stabilize. At the moment you know the engine has enough oil in it (9L) even if the DME has not fully learned that fact yet. Try to do nothing to any of the system except for using the BC stalk to get a quick hot reading while driving and the car is at normal operating temperature. Do this for at least 5 longer driving cycles before worrying. Scroll through the BC stalk options until you get to the oil level option, and then hold the BC stalk button for 2 secs to engage the quick oil level read cycle. Do not add anymore oil.
