            Theres around 500ml from min to max on the dipstick
            So you could be sevral 100ml over full. As said, not good.

                  Update.
                  Prior to sorting oil level,noticed air pipe adrift in engine bay,right hand side just above oil filter.Must have been displaced when they changed oil filter, so appears to have then been sucking in warm air from around engine.Replaced pipe back on housing,performance now seems back to normal.

                    Well that's half the battle. Get the oil drained yet?

                      Good spot on the dislodged pipe, if the oil has been drained you'll hopefully have trouble free driving

                        1L min to max on the THP, i like to keep mine in the middle though

                          There's also electric oil changing pumps that suck it from the dipstick hole. But I'm not sure if ds3s have the hole big enough.

                              Oil level now sorted.600ml was removed to bring level to max on dipstick.Used one of those vacuum oil syphon's that go in thro dipstick,very impressed how easy it was.
