hey,
I just read though a shop manual I bought, it says the d16 takes only 3 qts.
I always put in around 31/2 for it to reach the upper dot on the dip stick.
am I putting in too much, where should the oil mark be on the dipstick?


For example: d16a6 o----*-o-----------------P <- dipstick

I know too much oil can cause leaks so I just wanted to ask.
add other engines to if you know them.
Thanks

wow.
Thanks allot, I guess I was about rite then huh.
thanks, did you google that? I found nothing.

 

i always fill mine 4quarts, but then again i have 3 oil leaks hahaha. waiting for my parts to come from honda so i can rebuild this sucker

 

I didnt know too much oil can cause leaks I just did an oil change yesterday and put 4 quarts in my d15 (doh!) and I have a minor leak already, and im pretty sure everything was tightened down good.......ill have to check again. Where exactly does the leaks come from? The drain plug and/or oil filter?

 

no, you can blow a seal with too much oil in the engine, but generally thats an excessive amount. a couple tenths over isnt gonna destroy it. and if you know you have a leak i'd advise to overfill it just a bit, just keep checking on it.

 

i have dealership access to ALLDATA online. it's pretty much amazing

 

So do I!

 

^^^^Can you guys share some of that alldata love?????
