When you drain the oil you do not get it all out. That half liter is in the sump and spread around all the other components of the engine. Go by the marks on the dipstick

Not familiar with Molygen so cannot comment.

Oil capacity on the 2018 G80 Sport 3.3 is 7.29 quarts. I've done about 6 oil changes and generally replace/fill with about 6.9 quarts of oil.
There is a a thread on oil changes here. Your results above are comparable to what I see.

Short of tearing down engine you'll never get ALL of the oil out of the engine.

On a similar note, anyone know where I can get a longer dipstick? Mind does not reach the oil any more.

So, your stick got shorter as it aged? Hate it when that happens...

I've read on this forum that some check their oil right after running the engine and it reads high. I would wait at least five minutes to let is drain down a bit and then check it, and again after an hour if you can wait. My 3.8 needs 7.5 quarts but I can't get that much in. As EdP said, follow the dipstick.

Regarding type of oil, I would use what's specified in the manual. The molygen oils are used in German cars and meet the ACEA A3 & B4 spec, you need A5. I wouldn't drain it out, but would switch to the recommended oil.

What year is your G80, a '17?

I don't use it, I was providing information to you.

In older times - one always checked oil level when the engine was COLD.

In addition to being more accurate, the dipstick is easier to read.
