Sometimes it does that. Give it a day or two of driving and it should start to show the measurement.

Elliot, car looks great as usual. Do you find yourself hitting the larger skirts with your foot or achilles tendon when getting out?

Dealer in Vancouver has indicated to me that this 'issue' is prevalent across a few years of cars. Currently, the 'yellow' warning light is on (overfilled) and the dealer has indicated to ignore it until the spring when it warms up... I have removed about .5 liter, light went off, then came back.

They eluded to the possibility a 'fix' was coming, and acknowledged they were aware of the problem.

God, do I hate warning lamps I cannot address.

I did the same. Bought the .2 RS skirts, painted Gloss Black, had the covered with Xpel Ultimate Plus and the CQuartz coated.

That looks good!

Ohhhhh! I cannot wait to install them! Skirts and intakes (arrived yesterday, thank you Suncoast!) are going to look lovely!

I'm not going to paint them though; I figure the skirts will get beaten up here in the Great White North.

I have never had the overfill warning on this car but did on my last one right after an oil change. I JUST had my yearly oil change last week and what I do is have them put in only 7 quarts of oil. I then slowly over a few weeks add 4 to 8 ounces at a time until it gets near the top. I never shoot for the highest of the high positions, just near the top.

And that is exactly what I will do the next time. Super irritating, but now I know.

Car looks much better.

Thanks...I didn't think I'd like carrera red interior but it grew on me with my wife's white on red 981 S.

Even better in the 991 with the two tone black/red interior. The black tones it down just enough...and It makes what can be a somewhat "muted" 991, a tad more more interesting IMO.

Even with the tint, in person, you can still see the red interior.

Skirts and scoops! Cannot wait to get them installed! I was surprised to find two sided tape on the scoops though...

Clear sides should be done as well to complete the look imo.
