You quote that your car can take 9.5 LITERS and that they charged you for 11 QUARTS. 1 liter is about 1.06 quarts. Your car would take about 10.07 quarts. Maybe they added a little extra or charger you for an extra .93 quart. That small of an extra amount of oil sould not do any damage for a vehicle with that much oil in it anyway. ---

I’m curious about the type of car also with that type of oil capacity. And no dipstick? There’s so little difference between 9.5 liters and 11 quarts it won’t hurt anything. ---
