Oil Level

This morning my oil level gauge indicated one bar low in my 997 S.

Still half asleep , I poured in a quart of 0-40.

Then I realized, I should have only added 1/4 of a quart .

The manual specifically warns against overfilling.

My question is , am I OK , or do I have to crawl under the car and drain out the excess ?

I would drain the excess to avoid any damage, but thats just me...I like to follow the manual....

I agree with reefish, for the time it would take to drain off 3/4 of a quart of oil it will put your mind at ease,

I was also advised not to run with more oil than the recommended level.

P.S. I happen to do the same thing

Jedi :P
