Did first oil change, have a question

So I changed the oil the first time today on my car at 500 miles on my 1ss.
Everywhere I've seen it takes 10 quarts. Well I ended up needing almost 11 just to get it half way in the cross hatching. Anyone else need to do the same?

+1. Always fill the filter before you spin it on.
