What to Do If Too Much Engine Oil is Added to a Car?
1 Answers
If too much engine oil is added to a car, you can use a syringe and infusion tube to extract the excess oil from the dipstick hole, or use a lift to raise the vehicle and drain the excess from the bottom drain plug. When adding engine oil, always ensure the oil level is between the min and max marks on the dipstick. The oil level should not be below the min mark or above the max mark. The impacts of overfilling engine oil are as follows: 1. May cause crankcase explosion. 2. Blue smoke from the engine exhaust pipe. 3. Piston ring sticking and fuel injector clogging. 4. Reduced engine power output. 5. Oil leakage.
