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

Had oil change on my 997 done by shop that was doing some other items. I normally do it myself. Problem is after getting home, my check engine light came on. After car cooled down, I checked oil level, it is at top bar. Can possibly too much oil result in check engine light?

POST 2Original post

Top bar isn’t overfilled, it’s just at the top of the measure , unless it’s WAY overfilled and that’s the highest the gauge reads Try taking the oil filter off, and then reinstall and lose about 1/2 of a quart and see if it lowers on the gauge The top tick and bottom tick are approximately 1 quart of oil

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good idea on the oil filter. Thanks!!

POST 4Original post

The top bar IS overfilled. How much you can’t tell. The arrow is the fill mark and you should have one unlit bar above that. If you use a clean container you can drop oil right out of the drain plug. Do it warm. A half quart at a time until the level is at the arrow.

POST 5Original post

On my '15 911, I accidently added about a pint too much oil. I got a message on the dash "oil overfill, safe to drive." Since the filter is mounted downside up (it drains when you shut off the motor), I just cracked the drain plug until it dripped into a small container, then torqued it back up. Warning went away.
