First oil change

Can you tell me how many miles you had on your car at your first oil change,and what % of oil life was left? I changed mine at 800 miles,the oil looked good , the oil life % was 93% I used the upf44 filter and 6.5 quarts of 5w30 mobil 1. Also,when checking oil before the change,the oil came to the top of the dip stick,at top hole.Now,it comes half way between the two holes? has any one seen the same? Also, car is in the same location,ect when the oil is checked. thanks for any and all input, steve.
