Default Oil level questions
Ok so here is my problem I am above the top dot on the oil dipstick about 3mm give a or take a 1mm. Now is this bad for my car? Will it do harm to it? It seems a little sluggish lately could this be why?

Thanx

Did a search did quite find what i was looking for.

top hole is full. a couple mm's shouldn't cause any problems. it should burn off.

Well what happend was it burned hella oil and I was just putting more in. It was almost below the lower dot and I put in a qaurt then it wasnt high enough so I added another which wasn't smart. I should have added a half a qaurt.
