Oil level question...

Checked oil level after change and bar above max is lit.
Should I drain some of the oil and if so where can I find the drain plug?
I am new (1 week) to the 996tt (02).

Thanks.

should be fine if you added about 9 quarts, and you drained all the oil from the two drain plugs

if you count the turbo's there are four.

engine approx 2-3 quarts
oil tank approx 6 quarts
2 turbos approx 1 quart

It's like doing 4 oil changes. LOL

If it is too much perhaps you can drain the turbos.
