Hey gents,

I'm a new 964 owner and from all the posts I've read here and at Rennlist I have too much oil in the car (from PO). The dipstick shows .5 to 1" of oil above the upper "twist" when at temp, idling and level. Some posts say that's not a problem, others say it can damage the car and is a bad idea.

What's the easiest way to remove 1 QT or so of oil from a 964? I'm very new and though I've read hundreds of posts, I don't know if I'm ready to start loosening the oil change "plugs". (I don't even have a torque wrench...will I be needing one of those to get the plugs properly torqued when I change my oil?) Is loosening the plugs and draining the only way to get some oil out? If this is the recommended method, please give me some advice or point me in the right direction.

OR - Do I even need to get some oil out?

Many thanks!
