That seems excessive, I would guess you are not removing enough oil initially. Which method of oil removal are you using?
I use the vacuum level, remove as much as I can one evening and let it drip into the oil pan overnight, it is surprising how much oil I can get out the next morning. I can put in 8 litres, the oil level will be 1/16” over the full mark, but not enough to worry about. I found this out when I had 8 one litre bottles.
I have the car on the flat with 2 x 4s under the driver side wheels.
