Oh, okay. Thanks

I had a 60K service done on my car recently and they had overfilled the engine oil by 1 tick on the electronic indicator and about 1/8 of an inch on the dip stick. I have driven the car about 100 miles with this condition until they drained the oil out to the correct level. In your opinion, what damage has this done? Thanks

Well, I got my car back from Overseas Service Haus. Since I never been there, I asked to see all the replacement parts and they showed them to me and it appeared that they did a good job. I asked about the transmission and Bill said he replaced the transmission oil and filter. Is this right on a 6-speed manual transmission? My total bill comes to $834 including the 10% discount, tax and shop fees. Let me know if you are planning to take your car there, because they said if I refer someone, then they will do the oil change for the cost of the oil (about $65). BTW, how accurate is the oil check meter in the dash? After my service, it showed 1 tick higher than the top and the bottom marks, but when I check the dip stick, the oil level is about right. So I drove around the block, parked and waited 10 minutes and check the meter again, and it show 1 tick below the top mark. What happens if they over filled the oil? -

I have thought about DIY, but are there special tools required? BTW, Autoscope in Plano would not return my call for a quote and Overseas wants to keep my car for 2 days for the 60K service. -
Have any of you had any experience with Overseas Service Haus in Frisco or German European Imports in Plano for repairs or maintenance? I was quoted $850 for the 60K miles service plus additional 10% off. Too good to be true?

I bought a '99 996 Cab recently with 58K miles. Had PPI done with "sound mechanical condition". After reading some of the posts from this forum I was worried about all the repairs for this model year. So I began shopping around for extended warranty program and found the following: AccessWarranty.com has a program called Elite Plus for $3,395 for 4yr/100K mile. Is this a good deal? Have you heard or use of this company before? If not what do you recommend? I live in Dallas. Thanks
