to be honest i think you have just over filled it.i did the same thing on my v3. i checked the oil while it was warm and the dip stick came out bone dry so as you do you top it up.my car was smokeing a treat an there was oil everywere under the bonnet.it seemed were id over filled it it was comeing threw the turbo oil seals and being sucked into the engine hence the smokeing and were it was in the intercooler everytime the dumpvalve released it was blowing oil everywere.i drained it out and stuck a new oil filter on with fresh oil and never had a problem with it after that and everytime i checked the dipstick when cold the oil level never dropped.
