(LAC) Oil overfill tolerance on a 2.8 liter 24 V in a Passat GLX

[LL - NY]

The 2.8 hatch area is 1/2 qt!!!! If (going by the visual) that is the case,
then it's only 1/4 qt above (I was going on the assumption that the hatched
area is 1 full qt.). In this case, the oil is up partway into the plastic
above the fill mark.

And, thanks for the replies guys. The problem with pulling the oil from the
car is that my fluid extractor is at my home, 200 miles from here. And we
will have to take Mom's car (it's the only one she's comfortable in with her
back problems) on a 300 mile trip to a memorial service next weekend. So,
it's all of 1/4 qt off, I'm not worried about it, but if it's a half, as
Mark suggested I'd want it removed. We'll see what the stealer says, I think
it's *their* responsibility.
