Is your oil full @ 7 quarts? Mine needed closer to 7.5 (I believe 7.4 qt capacity)

Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class The 2.0L 4 -cylinder engine uses a 5W-40 viscosity and holds 7.4 quarts on the Base model, 6.9 quarts on the 4MATIC.
Mine is a 4MATIC so 7 quarts does it for me.

As I had learned from utube the MB filter is designed to drain off into the engine, so before lifting the car I removed the engine oil fill cap and loosened the oil filter lifting it slightly and leaving it slightly cocked in it`s housing. I then lifted the car and removed the oil pan plug and let it sit for a couple of hrs to drip out, the dirtiest oil comes out last. The amount of oil left in the filter-housing is shown in one of the pics, it was not very much and I just wiped it out with paper towels before reinstalling the new filter in place.
