Oil Level
I have just done an oil change on my 2010MY XKR and managed to suck about 6.5l out. I then have only be able to put 6.25l back and the digital oil meter is showing Level OK (and full).
Apart from the obvious did I get all of the oil out? (I am sure I did as I was using a compressor based vacuum extractor and double checked it) if there another explanation that people have experienced e.g. faulty sensor, sensor always reading low?
Many thanks in anticipation.

I do it the opposite, drain the sump, replace the filter and then add the correct amount of oil. Run it for a minute or two and let it sit for a while and then see how much is on the stick. That's the real 'full' mark. In past cars I've checked it a quart low and even two quarts low for reference.
