There are two readings on the stick; one says "Hot" and gives you a little arrow pointing to a line telling you not to fill beyond that point, but on the other "cold" side there's no arrow and no line....

No idea what is right or wrong, but I�d just use a large syringe to extract the excess.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I noticed my hydraulic fluid level was down, so picked up a quart of very expensive Pentosin CHF 11s at Pep boys ($23 + tax), since I got some sharp criticism for buying non-Porsche idler pulleys, a couple days ago. (I only discovered Rennlist a couple of months ago) (that doesn't mean I'm going to buy only Porsche parts, though) There are two readings on the stick; one says "Hot" and gives you a little arrow pointing to a line telling you not to fill beyond that point, but on the other "cold" side there's no arrow and no line.... There's a place further up where the plastic has a detent, but is that the overfill point? (With engine cold) I was stingy at first and only put in a small amount of fluid, and still saw none on the gauge, so the second time I was more generous, and of course now it's clear up to that detent - well past the "Hot" mark. Is this like putting too much oil in the engine? / very bad? Should I try to draw out some of the fluid? I'm thinking fluids probably expand when hot, meaning I might've really overshot the mark, here. Thanks -

POST 2Original post

No idea what is right or wrong, but I�d just use a large syringe to extract the excess. I buy them at farm stores around here, but someone recently posted a link to amazon.

Yup, take some out. Do you have the owners manual? Check cold, fluid should be just below the cold mark.
