Just a follow up for Helmsman, I just did an oil change with a warm engine. I let it drain for a few hours and extracted as much oil as I could from bottom of the oil filter area. I added a new oil filter and 9L of oil (9x1L bottles) allowing each bottle to completely empty. Carly read 31.75 = 0.3175 ft^3 = 8.990L before engine start. (I suspect the missing .010L = 10mL is the amount left in all the bottles-though I believe it should be more for such a thick oil.) I will make another reading after engine start and then again after a few days and report back where the oil level indicator is.
