Phooey!! Just moved up to an XB9S from my Blast, and although I'm not inexperienced in maintenance, I overfilled when doing my first oil change -- the XB dipstick is even more difficult to read than the Blast -- and I think the first time I read it, I hadn't screwed it in all the way. anyway, I'm hardly more than an 1/8 of an inch over the overfill line. Is it important for me to pull the plug, drain an re-measure? How do XBs react to a little overfill? Thanks for any advice!! | ||

Typically my rule of thumb is it's better a little under filled than over filled, you could get a hand vacuum pump, for bleeding brakes etc, and simply pump out what you overfilled. Would be better than flooding the topend with oil. |
