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

Following on from my last post - cheers for the quick response - have since topped up the oil with a couple of pints (had a milk bottle to hand at the time...) Now the guage on the dash is sitting at the top - about 1 o'clock when running and goes to the max point when idling - have checked the levels again and they are right at the very top of the max level - maybe 2mm over. Will this have any effect on the engine? - do I need to drain any out or just go easy for a bit as it uses it?? Doesn't appear to affect oil pressure any differently though..... Any thoughts?? Cheers Migration info. Legacy thread was 70816

POST 2Original post

Andy, I would drain a bit out rather than put excess pressure on those oil seals. I always keep my oil level in the middle of the dip stick markers for this very reason. Paul Migration info. Legacy thread was 71649

POST 3Original post

would that really matter tho given that its dry-sumped so only takes whatever oil it needs from the reservoir.........so that although the reservoir might be a tad over what it should be the engine still has the correct amount?????? Migration info. Legacy thread was 71665
