How to Deal with Overfilled Engine Oil?
1 Answers
Methods for handling overfilled engine oil: 1. Drain some oil from the oil pan's drain port. Wait for the engine temperature to drop before draining to avoid burns. If unsure how to proceed, the owner can visit a 4S shop for professional assistance; 2. Use a syringe with an IV plastic tube to extract the excess oil. The medical plastic tube has measurement marks for easy reference. Normally, the proper oil level should be between the upper and lower limits on the dipstick. A level below the lower limit may result in low oil pressure and potential lubrication issues, but short-term use won't cause severe damage to the engine.
