okay out there i have a question i picked up my 2024 forester touring in January 15 this all was well put i thought i would check the oil the following day, i do not know if its general practice for Subaru to overfill from the factory but it was i would say a good half a liter or more over the top max circle, took it to the dealer he says nothing to worry about so i just got my second oil change here yesterday and they overfilled by close to a liter, took it back and they drained it down to max level top circle on the dip stick, just wondering is this a common thing to overfill from factory, i don't mind slightly above maximum put a full liter is to much as far as I'm concerned has anyone else had this overfill from the factory ?

Yes ..I have a '23 sport and oil level was about half inch above full mark from factory...same after first oil change..service tech said over fill wasn't enough to worry about..I think these overfills might be due to a history of some year foresters using excessive oil..mine has not so far..
