Oil overfill and removal of excess

[Doug_B_928]

I changed the the oil and filter in my 08S last weekend. After the initial fill, I ran the motor and then checked the level again, and it went down quite a bit. So, I topped up to max. I just checked the level and it is about 1/8th of an inch over the max line. It had been a couple of hours since it had been run. So, I started the car, let it run for a minute, then checked again and the level was about 1/8th" below the max line. So, I'm wondering if I should remove the filter housing to release that amount of oil and see if that does the trick to get it to the max on a cold check, or is it okay as it is?

TIA

1/8" over filled isn't a great amount, I wouldn't worry about it.

Great to know, thanks! Oddly, I checked it this morning after sitting all night and the level is essentially on the max mark. Very strange, but a happy surprise.
