When I said that with the engine cold, the oil level "covered the ENTIRE red plastic blob on the dipstick", it should be mentioned that the Max fill line on the red plastic blob is somewhat LESS than the whole length of the blob. So it is definitely overfilled.
The oil was drained during a brake job so it was completely drained (1 hour of draining on a hoist). So I'm figuring it's borderline overfilled.
I wonder if Porsche designed some idiot-proofing into the dipstick level. That is, I pretty sure it's 0.5 litres over. But if this is within an acceptable tolerance, I'll leave it. If not, I'll have to get it out somehow. Anyone know?

Hi,
I once overfilled mine and rather than open the Drain Plug which is difficult at best to control, I used a MityVac with a Catch Jar and Surgical Tubing inserted in the Dipstick Tube. Took a little time, but was neat and clean and very easy. Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
