My 2017 OB 2.5 has no issues at 6,000 miles.
(right strut was replaced due to chronic squeak)
Dealer changed the oil and it's 1/2" too high, at 2 hours rest and overnight.
At section 11-13 of the manual:
"To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add any
additional oil above the full level when the engine is cold."
So mine is overfilled; I might guess the consequence is foaming.
How important is it for me to drain off the excess ?
And is overfilling a policy to cover for any premature oil loss ?
(delivered 1/4" overfilled, maybe 1/8" drop in 6,000 miles)
