Does a M103 have a "double sump" pan?

Update - DUH, I overfilled it apparently. Guess I will have to drain about 1.7 quarts out.

No response on my other thread... anyway changed my oil tonight (1988 300SEL). It was slightly above the "min" line (which is good considering it had about 4000 on that oil change). I was only able to drain out about 5 quarts however. It took about 8 quarts to get it to the "max" line. Does a M103 supposed to hold 8 quarts of oil?

I am wondering why this is... my dad asked me if it was a double sump pan, but I dont know. He said I may have overfilled it. I dont know what to do, as I have to drive the car early in the AM. All I know is its almost up on MAX now. I didnt have the keys, so I didnt start it yet. I guess the filter will account for some of the fluid? Not sure though since it sets open side down anyway. Now I am also reading its not good practice to fill to the "max" line and it should be in between. I didnt know this.... this has never been told to me on my other MBs I have previously owned.

Any info appreciated.
