Subject:Re: Oil overfill -- now what?

HI All,
Is the WBX as sensitive to overfill as the Type IV aircooled engine? If not, what  do think about pulling the oil filter, and draining it as a way to deal with an overfill?
BTW, my 2.1 has a tapered drain plug instead of a flat washer.  Is that common?

I recall that one of the list gurus measured the difference as 1/2 liter.
