Oil level too high

urfankhaliq · 04-24-2017, 05:56 AM

When i check the oil level on the iDrive it says the oil level is too high. Something to be concerned over or just let it be?

Obviously the guy who did the oil service must have just put too much in?

Ideally you want to drain some out.

One of those oil suckers would probably be the best way, suck out maybe 500ml and then check the level and see what it says. Drain the oil in to something you could then put the oil back in with too, in case you take out too much. Min to Max is about 1L so 500ml with it saying too high should be fine.
