Default What happens when you add too much oil

I accidentally added 1 additional litre of oil into my car...and I hit Vtec numerous times afterwards before I found out that there was too much oil in there...does it hurt the engine badly? Thanks in advance for your input.

You'll be fine. Just drain out a liter and you're good to go.

That usually equates to 1 liter

Nothing will happen, but you will loose power since your crank will be submerged in the oil

If you have added too much most likely you'll blow your seals and have oil leaking on your garage floor assuming your car is in the garage. I know this is what happened when I added too much in my eclipse before I had the R. But maybe you'll get lucky.
