Too much oil?
I think my oil change place put 6 quarts in my 1990 Ford Bronco when it
should be 5 quarts. What happens to an engine with too much oil? |

If there's too much, the crank throws will hit the oil, and that's bad. -- ..boB On Order: 2006 FXDI, Red. 1997 HD FXDWG - Turbocharged Stolen 11/26/05 in Denver 1HD1GEL10VY3200010 CO License J5822Z 2001 Dodge Dakota QC 5.9/4x4/3.92 1966 Mustang Coupe - Daily Driver 1965 FFR Cobra - 427W EFI, Damn Fast. |

Too much oil?
If there is enough for the crank to hit it, it can froth it up into
bubbles. Bubbles don't lubricate for crap.... Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's Canadian Off Road Trips Photos: Non members can still view!

Too much oil is as bad or worse as not enough... if the crank hits the oil, it whips up a foam that not only doesn't lube well but the oil pump can't pump well. Drain the excess. Note: If your dipstick has a press on cap, make sure it hasn't moved upwards that might cause it to look like an overfill that doesn't exist. |

One quart extra is not going to break the bank. It takes more than that to cause problems. -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com |

That tilt could allow the crank to whip the oil to froth and blow his engine. I certainly wouldn't leave it alone, because I do such things with 'my' Jeep, hills and off road that is.

If they were that sensitive to over fill there would be a lot of engines out there with blown seals in them. 3 quart overfill maybe, 1 quart is no problem -- ----------------- www.thesnoman.com |
