just finished oil change and need some input, please... noticed oil level on both engines are 1 inch above full mark, after putting in 25L of oil as specified by maual...and filters were filled(aprox.2L) prior to installation but engines not started yet.... am fairly sure all oil was pumped out as reverso pump started sucking air and as FW suggested poured qt. of new oil in and pumped out until pump sucked air again...It seems very high above top oil mark but can only compare to gas engines with side mount filter(dry) and would only be a couple hairs above full line.....just want to make sure before firing up or should I remove some oil to top mark? thanks for any toughts...
