quick bump here

Recently had my indy do an oil change. I checked the oil when I got it home after a long drive (car was fully warmed, and I adhered to proper instructions, idle and then wait 1 minute). I checked the level at 1, 2, and 3 min intervals and the oil came to this level in the pic below, in all 3 scenarios. I did this 2 separate days just to make sure, results were the same.

I asked my Indy what he thought and he said he put 6L in just like all S54's take. I told him last time I changed it, it only took 5.5L to get to mid point.

A) do you think I should take 1/2L out? I think I should....

B) I have searched and searched but cannot find some threads I recalled seeing on what oil extractors via dip stick folks have used on their S54's, any suggestions on a model that will def work?

thanks all.
