[QUOTE="n1acguy, post: 491531, member: 15551"] Mine was overfilled too. When I did the 600 mile service, I added one gallon and then slowly added more till I got about the same level as in your pic. The extra amount I added seemed to be in the 1/4 quart range, so I think the specified amount gets it right where you have it now. At least that's the way it worked with the slightly larger Bosch filter I used, but it could only hold an ounce or so more. I don't think the filter size mattered that much. I had the feeling that it was smoother with 15/40 in it. Sure seemed like the stuff I drained out was a light weight oil [/QUOTE]
