    Octavia oil overfilling
    Answered by Graham Smith · 1 November 2013

    The oil fill listed in the owner's manual includes the oil filter, which will be half a litre or perhaps more. I would warm the engine to operating temperature, turn it off and drain the oil again, and check the amount of oil that comes out. Remove the oil filter and drain. Then see how much oil goes back in.
