After warming up the engine, I've just undone the flexible pressure gauge pipe at the bulkhead and restarted directing the small flow from the pressure pipe into a container. I've taken a litre out and the dipstick level is now 1/4 inch above the max level. Oil pressure was at 50 psi during this ...

My car is an every day user.
