That makes much more sense, the "w/o filter" part was odd, ty
Devils in the details as they say.

I'm still over the 7.39 quarts and barely over the min mark after a normal drive and check. I'll check it again tomorrow and see if it's worked itself out.

TSB 00.57A Ref. 00/134 Level Check Procedure:

Oil level should be check only after the engine is at least 80C and has sat for min of 2 min. The dipstick should then be fully inserted for at least 3 secs. The new level should not excede the 1/2 way mark between Max/Min with car on level ground.
Owners should be notified to refrain from Topping Off oil level beyound 1/2 mark.

Just do the math to convert to quarts.
7.5 ltr is just shy of 8 qts [ 7.92 qts]
7 ltr is just shy of 7.5 qts [ 7.4 ]

So, with the new TSB capacities, you are looking at approx 7-1/2 qts with filter ..MAX

And be aware...".Normal " people do use the Metric system...
