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.

Does anyone know if slightly overfilling the engine oil can potentially cause damage to the engine of a 996? The dipstick level on my C4S was just below half level when I put it nearly 1 litre of oil last Sunday. A bit stupid I know. The dipstick is now reading just above the max mark.
The engine will be fine. A slight overfill, while being undesirable, won't do any real harm. A larger overfill is likely to contaminate the catalytic converter with unburnt oil & that is potentially an MOT failure.
