Maybe they put 8.01 quarts and charge for 9, like the guy who needs 1.2 meters of hose but gets charged for 2.

My bet would be they charge for 9 quarts and use 8 (or fewer) though.
That is what I am afraid of. They dump all 9 quarts in and you have oil froth as your crank beats the oil. Did you ever ask them as to the rational when they charge for 9 while the capacity is 8? I'd be curious.
