if you have a tremendous amount of oil in the car (more than double the two dots), will the car eventually have problems starting? i thought it was the ignition so i put in the msd that was sitting around the house, and on cold starts, it always takes a while to start up. and white smoke is coming out of the exhaust.
btw. this is for 95 integra ls/v

 

any help would be appreciated

It shouldn't keep it from starting. If it's overfilled bad it will smoke under acceleration. (3-4 quarts over)

White smoke is usually antifreeze. Blown headgasket maybe? That can cause hard starting. Can you do a compression or leakdown test?

 

ya i think i ca get that done. hopefully its not my block. I just finished the ls/vtec. any other suggestions?
p.s. i have a CEL for coolant temp. sensor (code 6). also, when it does get started up, it backfires for about five minutes when i give it gas.

 

any other ideas? could it be bad timing?

 

why dont u jsut drain some oil out

 

been meaning to do an oil change but been too busy with school and work. same reason my oil press. gauge isnt hooked up.

 

Yeah...it can caue problems to over fill the oil in a car. You run the risk of having improper oil clearences...esp in the rod and main bearings......lower viscosity oil lessens these chances though. &lt;shrug&gt; Why not jsut run the proper amount of oil?
