Easy_Rider911, I've been thoroughly perusing TFM both the pdf and hardcopy version, but this is the first time I understand that it is recommended not to fill up more than 500 ml at one time. Just out of curiosity, may I ask you which page exactly reads this thing?
On another note, while TFM reads on page 96 that engine oil pressure at about 5000 rpm should be 3.5 bar (engine warmed-up, definitely) my dial indicates more or less 5.0 bars all of the times.
Is this the same for your engine?

Like I said: "It's like adding salt to food. You can always add a bit more. But if you added too much, it can be inconvenient to correct it".
Why risk overfilling? It's a PITA to deal with...gentle increments when filling are best

And as jerrygee says, the drain plug washer should be replaced each time the plug is loosened or removed.

I had my first service done at 16,000 miles. When the Dealer returned it the oil level was right at the top of the scale (over the top). They assured me that they had added the correct amount when the oil and filter was changed.
I've now done over 4,000 miles since the service and the level has never changed - i.e. right at the top, over the full mark. The only time it shows below is if I check it on an uphill slope.
I haven't noticed any problems - no excessive smoke on start-up etc. and the car is running better than ever - so what does everyone think?
