It truly overfilled before and started leaking (a few drops a day) from the main drain bolt site even though it was torqued appropriately. No other effects thus far.
Simple 3 bolts. You will need to drain the oil. IIRC it was time for a change so it worked out for me. If not, you can capture the oil in a clean catch pan and re-use. When I do that, I pour it through a paint filter when putting it back in the car.
