So if your graph shows at the top bar, you may be up to 49% of a bar overfilled and the graph will say just full.

An easy way to drop the level is to remove the oil filter canister and dump the oil from it. That should drop you a bar on the graph.

Mine is right at the top bar (where the arrow points) but not over. Do you think I should dump some? If I loosen the canister will it come rushing out.
Thanks
