Oil overfill
Hey all
I thought I was low on oil in my new Honda civic 1.8 i-vtec sport (the dip stick design is abysmal!). So I accidentally overfilled with just below a liter of oil. I drove about 90 km, and didn't notice any problems.
I then found out I had overfilled the engine, and sucked out the majority of the oil I added. I think maybe it's still overfilled with a few hundred ml.
Would I have noticed if the overfill had been a problem? Or could it still be a problem?
I've read so many different opinions on this subject. The majority though seems to agree that a few hundred ml. Shouldn't be a problem?
