How to Deal with Excessive Engine Oil?

[LaDavid]

To handle excessive engine oil, you can use a large syringe with an infusion tube to extract the oil through the dipstick hole. The extracted clean oil can be saved for future use. The hazards of excessive engine oil in a car include: 1. Increased engine operating resistance; 2. Higher likelihood of burning oil; 3. Carbon buildup or contamination of the catalytic converter. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves multiple functions such as lubrication and friction reduction, auxiliary cooling, sealing against leaks, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. Engine oil consists of two main components: base oil and additives. The base oil is the primary constituent of the lubricant, determining its fundamental properties, while additives compensate for and enhance the performance shortcomings of the base oil, making them an essential part of the lubricant.
