No such thing. You are mis-reading a 1 for a 7.

And, as far as volume goes, I found that it is best to start out putting in about 100 ml less than the recommended amount.....which should put it "in range" in the window, and then ride a few miles and check again after sitting a while. I don't think I ever got the full suggested amout in, probably because it's not possible to get ALL of the old oil out.
