Default Crap, I put too much Oil in my car

Ok, you know how theres the two dots, i have double that amount, i wasn't paying attention and i only meant to put in 1/3 of the bottle, and ended up putting all of it. Now i have a crap load in there. Is that really bad for the car? If so should i take some out or is it ok to leave it there?

You should DEFINITELY keep draining it a bit at a time until you are at about 1/4" or slightly less over the second dot. From what you are telling us, you actaully have double the amount of recommended oil in the car? If so, then its best that you drain some and not just continue to drive around in it.

THE MORE OIL THE BETTER!!!!!! LEAVE IT ALL IN THERE!!!!! IT LUBES EVERYTHING A LOT BETTER!!! KEEEEEEEEEEP ON TRUCKING.....hahahaha

Not to mention the benefits of doing it, such as Oil being all over your interior and your Motor, after all your SEALS blow out......

Thats all dude......

pull the drain plug out and keep draining until it's at a safe level........if it's like 1 or 2mm over the top dot i wouldent worry about, it but if it's double like you say drain it quick.

the space between the two dots signify about a quart of oil, So from what your saying your about a quart over filled. That could be bad if its high enough for your crankshaft to be in it, when the crank spins it will foam up the oil and foamed oil doesnt flow very well.
