I found a litre of oil will fill from the low mark to the upper mark.
!/2 way to upper mark is 500 ml.
Check for oil leaks on ground.
Sniff engine for oil leaks after a steep driveway, The oil from the cam gasket can drip onto exhaust creating an oily smell.

Should i fill up further 200-300ml? What do you reckon could be the reason for reading deviation?

P.S: I checked after warming up the engine and on a flat surface!
