'06 997 c4s fluctuating oil level on dash gage

hey guys...car has the 3.8L engine...the dash gage fluctuates as to what the level of oil is in the engine...a few q's please:
1. what is the amt of oil w/ filter for this car...? 9.5 qts...?
2. the gage has been at one time telling me the oil level is low, ie blinking low oil level...so I add 1/2 a qt and then the level says it is half full...this does not sound like the gage is accurately accounting for the 1/2 qt oil just added, right...?
3. how much oil is represented by 1 bar on the oil level gage...? 4 oz...?

for what it is worth, the car is not leaking oil...no smoke coming out of the tail pipes...and i am now concerned that maybe too much oil may be in the engine so i am going to drain the oil and measure how much i remove, thus the q's above i would greatly appreciate answers to...

thx, bob
