Proper Oil Level

I had the second oil change in my '14 MCS at the dealer today. Again after they filled it, and after I drove it back home (four hour trip) the oil level reads this:



After looking at the owner's manual and looking online nowhere does it specify if the oil level has to be at the Max notch or just in between the Min and Max notches. Thoughts?

The F56S takes five liters. I wonder if they just put in five quarts.

Yea,


Here is the updated oil levels needs under the oil change. Also MINI oil just changed from Quarts ( old Castrol ) to liters ( New Shell Euro in black containers ) in the containers.

Mine is just slightly below the max after first oil change. New it was about the same. I check weekly and there is no oil use.
