did u put in enough oil and let the car warm up

 

yup a little over 4.6 qrts im a little worried i put too much in could that be a problem?

 

has anyone wit a 8th gen civic have this problem wit the 1st oil change?

 

well also if thats your first oil change ever with the car you were surpose to run for 5k for stuff thats in the original oil for the break in cycle but don't think that would have an effect with it.

 

yea i didnt run it for 5k i ran if for 3.5k hope thats not that bad?

 

plz some1 did i have to run the factory oil this for 5k is this gonna affect my car in the long run?

our cars take 4.8 qts, your safe with an even 5. but i think its all in your head. maybe you were working yourself up thinking the synthetic was gonna make the car a whole nother animal? dissapointed maybe?

 

Have you checked the oil level? Is your oil fill cap screwed on tight?

 

i notice that for a few minutes then goes back to normal for me
