Default Overfilled dry sump on 2011 Z06

I noticed that I am about 1/8" over the top crosshatch on the dry sump dipstick. Is that a big deal? What is the worst thing that can happen??

Not a big deal, but suction some out of the dry sump tank and get it down to/under the top fill. You have the water/oil cooler so your oil temp gets up to 200* quickly and stays there. A reading at 200* oil temp will be higher than a reading at 175*.

On my 09Z oil at 175* at the middle hole = oil at 260* at the top hole (heat expansion).
