Leave it alone for a while. What’s wrong is these cars have that stupid ass oil level sensor instead of a dip stick. There are tons of posts about this. Search.

Both says its okaccprding to the pics? Like Spa.my says, assuming you have drained all and filled 8.8l (9l with filter can emptied) you're ok regardless of what the sensor says right now.
