Like I said...I was afraid to turn the car on if there was too much oil in it...can't you damage the engine by having it overfull? It turns out the oil is overfull...I didn't know that you had to drain two drains....
Thanks.

Wil may have jumped on you a little hard. He is not like that all the time. Anyone can make stupid mistakes around an unfamiliar car and I've made my share. His point is well taken, though. He is only trying to prevent you from going ahead blindly with anything else until you spend some time learning the car.
This site has a whole bunch of technical articles that can help and the host has written a book titled "101 Projects for Your Porsche 911." Get one of those.
You can find the tech articles by going to the home page and looking at the menu on the left. The link is near the top.
BTW, you did smart by not starting the car overfilled. You have a plan for correcting that? Start over, is what I'd do since you have new and old oil mixed now.
