hi guys and gil noobie here.
quick question what happen if you put too much oil in your motor? evo9 5w30

 

Saying you got it to the point the crank starts to slap the oil it would do this:

1) Start to whip the oil into a foam like mixture
2) Resulting foam would decreasing overall oil intake into oil pump
3) Loss of oil pressure
4) Failure of bearings or some such

This is of course an EXTREME case

 

try to loosen the drain plug and let it drip until you get the right level. oem weight should be 10W/30 not 5W/30.

 

That doesn't mater. I have had about 4 different weight's of oil in my car. It all depends on what you are doing with the car, and what time of year it is. Up in Buffalo NY where I used to live, I would run 0w-30 during January/February because it would get down to negative temperatures overnight. Int he mornings, sometimes I would try and start the car when it was -19* outside. I would rather have a slightly thinner oil in the car to make sure that nothing is starved of oil during the really cold winter months.

Down here in SC, I run 10w-30 because it is hotter. During one of my track days recently I put in 15w-50 because I was going to be beating the car like it owed me money. I wanted the extra protection of the slightly heavier oil.

It all depends on what you are going to be doing to the car, your driving style, and where you live climate wise.

 

Oil pan: 4.5 liters
Oil Filter: 0.3 liters
Oil Cooler: 0.5 liters
TOTAL 5.3 liters

I understand the cooler remains full; therefore you would replace 4.8 liters (or 1.26 US gallons)

 

With too much oil, you can destroy your catalytic converter.

 

How much oil is too much?

 

what is your procedure you use when you do the oil changes.
I usually put well below amount needed then let sit and measure. add more measure add more measure until perfect.

 

10w/30 .. i just changed mine and too much was put in..so i took off the oil filter to drain some oil out and it came out perfect. try that.

 

I put in 5 qt of oil...............too much?

 

Not at all.

 

Unless you drain it, you'll notice the excess oil getting forced out of the engine in some way... I remember when I was younger, I did that on the Isuzu Rodeo I drove at the time, and there would be oil along the bottom of the side skirts. I'd drain some oil out if I were you, unless you have to have to clean up all that crap.

 

I think he is from piedmont, CA not canada I hope

 

how overfull is it? i put just a tad under 5 quarts at each change. and thats with an mz690116 filter. which figures out to being roughly the 4.8 quart capacity

 

just fine 5 qts will not hurt a thing
