9L of oil did not fill the engine

I just did an oil change and at first I put in 8.5L and the level indicator read at the top arrow. Then a day after the oil change the oil level went down to between the top arrow and the midline. Still an acceptable level but I decided to add the remaining .5L anyway. I'm wondering 2 things. 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?
