Engine oil quantity

["Frenken, Eric" <efrenken@lctax.de>]

Hi list,

did an oil change on my BT7 and was wondering why the oil reached the max mark 
on the dipstick after refilling about 12.5 pints.
Oil filter was changed as well.
All the literature says that 15.375 pints is the correct amount of oil to be 
used.

Do I have the wrong dipstick (BJ8)? Engine has aluminium sump.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
