When I do a oil and filter change, I used to add the amount indicated by the owners manual, run the engine pn a short trip day, let it set overnight, check it cold and it is right on the upper mark. I then see small drops of oil everytime I park until it has leaked down to midway between the marks. I've eliminated these oil leak spots by reducing the amount of oil I add at change time by 1/2 quart. I have no idea why this works but it does on my 617.
