I just recently changed the oil in my d16y8 and I think this time I put in a little too much. I don't think it's too much to worry about but it is past the measuring line on the dipstick. Is too much oil really bad for your engine?

 

too much causes stress on seals, can cause cavitaion, excessive pressure, etc
may end up with a spun bearing...so ive read

 

i also did this (long story) it takes a whole 5 min to dran a bit out though. Just drain some out, it is better than replacing seals.

 

a little wont hurt but if you put alot in it just drain it out

 

It's really not that much over the mark at all. At first I thought it was just excess from the tube it goes in or something.

jack the car up and remove the extra oil your putting un needed pressure on all major engine parts

 

How many quarts did you put in?

 

I put in less than 4 at first. Ran the car. Measured it. Put some more in and started the car up again and it was at a good level. I check it 3 days later and it seems higher?

 

Hmmm. You should be fine, honestly.

 

That is what my dad told me. I drive like an old many anyways, I try to save gas haha.
