Anyway, just my observation.

That's possible, but also a small change with engine install angle has a marked effect as well. 14.5 qts in my engines brings the level to the top of the "M". :^) When I was on the hard this winter with the boat at a slightly different angle than when in the water, oil appeared down more than a qt.
