Oil Level Overfill - How long to clear?

[baconkev]

Thanks for this, I'll give it a good warm up tomorrow and check it again, I will add a bit more if needed.

I only put around 5.4 liters in when I filled it back up just incase, it might still have had a little bit of the old oil in if it didn't drain out fully. Around 5.8 liters drained out when I did the oil change but before I did the full change I siphoned just over 1 liter out of the dipstick hole so it was way overfilled by the people who serviced it last. I was sort of going on the side of caution putting a bit less than recommended in.

I'm still on the xxx on the dipstick currently could it really be that temperamental to give this error with only 300ml difference.

Thanks again
