When I had my oil changed on my gsr they put 4.5 quarts in. What are the dangers of overfilling the oil?

Yeah we pulled a rookie move and put too much oil in and we don't have tools to change the oil now will I be good to drive to work tomorrow like 10 15 miles with like a 1/4 Inch over the full line? Damn it's so dumb somebody help me. Is my gsr screwed!!??

maybe you could just drain some of the oil out...
if you were really desperate you could even use some pliers or a crecent wrench i suppose.

The danger of overfilling the oil is that it can foam in the oil pan and this can result in other problems. However, that's only a danger when you overfill by somewhere around a quart or more. If you overfill by less than half a quart, don't worry about it.

The official spec for an oil and filter change on the GS-R is 4.2 quarts. You have overfilled by 0.3 quart. Don't worry about it.

Many of us (who haven't yet installed baffled oil pans) fill to 1/4 qt past full to prevent oil starvation on track.

You'll be fine. Like nsxtasy said, you'd have to go more than a quart over before it really becomes an issue.
