Can You Still Drive If You Overfill the Engine Oil?

When the engine oil is overfilled, you should use a syringe to extract the excess oil through the dipstick hole. Here are some additional details: 1. If there is too much oil in the engine, the crankshaft will be partially or fully submerged in oil, increasing resistance and causing the engine to run sluggishly. 2. Excess oil can seep into various parts, with the worst-case scenario being leakage into the engine's combustion chamber, where it mixes with gasoline and burns. Prolonged burning of oil can lead to carbon buildup in the combustion chamber, resulting in reduced power and increased fuel consumption. 3. In some car models, excessive oil in the lubrication system increases the load and pressure on various components, accelerating wear and aging.
