There is the possibility that 4L of old oil didn't fully drain. Everyone has their technique, and sometimes it isn't fully kosher. And then you add 4L of new oil and bingo, overfill....
I changed the oil today on my 1250GSA. Added 3 3/4 liters, ran it for a couple minutes (the engine was still hot), shut it down and put the bike on the side stand for 10 minutes. I then put it on the centerstand and rechecked it after a few minutes and it was right at the top of the red circle. Another 1/4 liter and I would say it is overfull. Am I wrong?
Your first sentence seems to be the answer imo.
0.264172 ounces may be technically "overfull", but again, the boxer isn't going to notice that in any negative way according to two master bmw mechanics.
Do you believe the motor will suffer damage being .26 ounces over?
