Ali - I believe you are correct. For the 117, V8 engine, refer MBNA 00/57A dated November 1995. I states that it is best to check the engine oil level with it at or near it's correct operating temperature of 80° and let it stand for 10 minutes to drain back to the sump. The correct level should be between the min and max mark. These engines certainly do not like being overfilled
