Overfilled oil by 1/2 a cm okay to drive or no?
#18
Well, I did something stupid by checking the oil 10mins right after I turned it off. Not realizing it would take at last half a day for the oil to settle.
When I checked the dipstick, it was half way between the Full and Low line.
So I added 1 more qt...
I checked again an hr later and it was 1cm above the fill line.
After posting this thread, I checked again and it was 1inch above the line.
----------------------
So in the end, I grabbed a 2.5ft aquarium tube and a syringe to siphon the excess oil out. about 1 qt. Took me a while off an on to do it this way.
(3 hrs off an on).
