Hello,

I own a 1999 VW Passat glx and recently I've noticed the folks who change my vehicles oil will over fill it about half a quart.  To make sure my over usage is correct, the dipstick has the word max with an arrow pointing downward. Instead of the oil being at the tip of the arrow, it is at the word max.  This seems to be quite a bit of extra oil.  Is this a problem for my moror and cat?  Thank you.
