Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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 friend of mine had the oil changed in his 996 TT and they overfilled it so much that it's smoking like crazy. Any ideas what would be required to clean out the oil in catalytic convertors, mufflers and anywhere else it may have gone? What would it damage also? Thanks

POST 3Original post

If the oil change was done at a reputable shop, take the car back to them and make them rectify the problem. Oil changes are very simple, but you here of so many horror stories like your mates. Not sure what else would be damaged, but I think the cats are probably toast. Are you sure the smoke is being caused by overfull oil and not a blown AOS?

POST 4Original post

+2 on AOS Should have started with ~9qts. It really should not hurt anything unless it was so full that it hydrolocked. If it did it would not smoke because it would not turnover. Drain it to correct level and run it on the highway to burn off the excess. (at night)

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the posts. Would be some codes pop up I suppose with oil in the cats and O2 sensors.

POST 6Original post

Smooth, it's sort of like I had mentioned in the previous messages I had sent. If the Cat's are clogged up, and if the oxygen sensors are not operating correctly or coated or fried. Sure you could get an oxygen sensor issue / error / code. Good luck smooth.
