what are some symptoms of too much oil in your engine? I have a type R and noticed that the oil was down.... So I added some oil.... fired her up.... the idle seems a little high - 1100 rpm....

Also, I dont leak oil, I dont burn oil at least no that I can tell.... but the oil must be going somewhere?

 

Look at the dipstick and see if you are over the line.

 

i am not over the line.... i am in between the bottom and top hole....

Its very odd.....

 

Then you don' have to much oil, when are you checking it ?

 

its normal to idle high when you first turn the car on, or when the car is cold.

and its also normal to burn a little oil between changes, not much but a little.

 

the idle problem seems to gave disappeared just as fast as it appeared.... anyhow, I am going to the dealership to have them do a compression test..... I dont leak or burn oil.... but I have to top the oil up every 500 - 700 KM's.

I have enough freinds with R's to know that these cars do burn oil, especially synthetics... I use MOTUL 8100, however, since I have warranty still available... I might as well use it.
