i've always wondered this, where should the oil be at? Between the two dots, top dot, over the top dot..? The car is pretty much stock everything motor wise.

 

top dot.. in between is ok.. below the bottom dot you be in troubles yo

 

On the top dot. The bottom dot indicates 1 quart low.

 

Is there anything wrong with being a little above the top dot?

 

how much is a little?

Like a centimeter or so, you're fine but like an inch, I would drain some out!

It's just about a ~cm. I guess Im good to go.

 

What would happen if there's too much?

 

If it's way too much it can cause it to leak oil.

ic, i've done it before and thought it would just burn off. never really thought it could cause a problem, but isn't leaking anywhere so i guess im lucky.

 

your oil level can happilly stay within the middle of the two dots, i leave mine half way between the dots forever.

 

if there is too much oil, it will build up too much pressure and ur seals can blow out.

 

causing it to leak?

 

quite a bit.

 

By quite a bit he means like a rainforest.

 

can too much oil cause vtec to be weak.

 

yup, can also cause you to burn more oil and smoke out of your exhaust. my dad took his mazda to the dealiship (cause he gets free oil changes) and then over filled it like a quart and a half or something like that. and he had no power and was smoking white smoke like crazy. luckily he took it back before he fucked his seals up.

oh and i leave my oil right between the two dots...and actually thats where it should be. if you take your oil to honda to get changed thats where they fill it to. thats like perfect, but there is obviously nothing wrong with filling to the top dot.

yes it wont hit as hard. too much oil causes the entire engine to bog. and of course it matters how much is too much oil.
