1) Warm up engine slightly
2) Remove drain plug from oil pan - oil drains into receptacle you have placed underneath it.

7) Run the car for a minute or two inspecting for leaks
8) Stop the engine, allow the engine to sit for approx 3 minutes
9) Check the oil level on the dipstick and add to the full line.

5/40 fully synthetic - Shell Helix Ultra, or (cheaper) 10/40 Semi-synthetic Shell Helix Plus. The volume depends on the engine capacity, for example the 2litre engine needs 5.8 litres.
For my own Mercedes I use 5/40 fully synthetic oil from Tesco, it meets all the tough technical specifications and it is considerably cheaper than branded oils.
5.6 liters here in the UK, could be a faulty sensor but try the oil first, easy enough to drain, jack up the rear passenger side so it gets all the oil out when draining.
