Sure it feels slower and it might not just be the weather or anything like that? a little over shouldn't hurt

 

nope nope

just to be on the safe side , im gonna drain a lil bit tomoro, run between the holes

 

did you check your NOS levels?

seriously though, my car always feels slower after an oil change. I think its because the motor runs so smooth after a change, its deceiving and all in your head.

*sigh*

Relax. It's ok. Your car will be alright.

The top hole is the "full" mark. The bottom is the "one liter/quart low" mark. I regularly fill mine 1/4 to 1/2 a liter over the "full" mark. It doesn't make the car slower, it doesn't blow any seals, it doesn't make it burn oil, it doesn't affect oil pressure (yes I have a gauge).

Go worry about world peace or something, the car will be fine.

 

thank Dr Pooface , me luv u

did you use a different weight oil then last time?

 

YOU DO NOT NEED TO DRAIN ANY OUT.....alittle over is more than fine....i actually run 1/2 quart over top dot when on the track!!!

 

I always fill about 1/4 inch above the top level on the dip stick and never experienced any problems......give it a few days to settle and see how things are then. Dont go draining any as you'd only have to take less than a cup full out to get it to the top mark on the dipstick and its not effecting anything!
