1 Answers
Overfilling engine oil can cause the following effects: 1. Reduced vehicle power; 2. Increased fuel consumption; 3. Severe damage to the three-way catalytic converter; 4. Accelerated aging of vehicle components. The solution for overfilled engine oil is: Pull out the engine oil dipstick, which has MIN and MAX markings indicating the lower and upper limits of oil level. Add oil if the level is below the MIN mark, but do not add if it's above the MAX mark - instead, remove the excess oil. Engine oil is a substance enhanced with additives in base oil, mainly containing anti-wear additives, detergents, dispersants, and multi-grade oil viscosity index improvers.
