not a good thing. Best idea is to drain a bit out

for first three years of ownership my TD5 would come back from the landy dealers after services with the oil level way past the hi mark. eejits. (also, handbrake over tightened, airbox not attached to anything, stereo broken etc etc)
Anyway, just undo the plug a wee bit, catch some oil in a coffee tin or whatever and bob is very much your uncle.

Some people also say that it is better to run the engine close to the low mark rather than to the high mark. But then you have to check it very regularly.
