Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Check the oil fom the dipstick when your car is at normal warm temperature. Shut it off, wait 5 minutes or so. That will give you the most accurate reading. If it is cold, all the oil will be in the pan, and will appear like there is too much.

Depends on how much you overfilled it. If you put way too much in, Drain some at home, before driving. You can do some serious damage with too much oil.
I use one of these for my MB and would use in a heartbeat to extract a bit out of the 996. Though I would never do an oil change with it on the 996, it is perfect for this application.
Extremely easy to use...And it's on sale!

If it is a quart or less do not worry about it. If it bothers you then unsrew the black plastic oil filter cannister. Oil will not pour out. You can dump the oil out of the cannister.
