Engine oil overfill N55
Hi all,
Got a N55 EWG and currently have a minor oil leak from my sump gasket. On my idrive when the oil level was showing half I filled 1ltr -meaning that I overfilled by 0.5ltr if measure was showing correctly. Will that cause any issues at all? Originally thought that would be fine since I have the leak, but have driven around 500miles and level is still showing max. Getting a bit worried while reading posts about overfilling and how dangerous it can be. Picture for reference of the level prior to filling 1ltr. Any thoughts? TIA |

Two ways:
1) messy - undo the drain plug for a second or two. 2) Buy an electric oil extractor from Halfords/Amazon. They suck the oil out via the dipstick tube. |
