How about the New S-FR Sports Car?
Go to SFRforums.com and check it out. Autoweek also has some

How Much Oil is Too Much?
I had my oil/filter changed at the dealership, and once home checked and it is about an eighth of an inch over the full line. Should I bother removing some, or is it ok? Thanks,
