Pulled a possible boner today that I've never done before. I might have overfilled my oil.

I had a partial quart (about 1/2) sitting around and I used that to fill the filter before putting it on. I then put in 4 full quarts and ran the car. I checked the dipstick and it was just over the lower mark. I meant to put in another 1/4 quart but I clearly wasn't paying attention and went closer to 1/2 quart.

The dipstick now reads just 1mm or 2mm above the max line. I know about overfilling where the crank can splash the oil but wanted to know what ya'll think. I'd hate to have issues on the way down to ER.

I have to check it again tomorrow when I am able to run the car for a bit longer. I could just drain some out to be safe. Dammit!

 

you're screwed. There are too many oil molecules in one place now.... They are going to start eating away your motor.

haha just kidding it'll be fine, I think i've done the same thing before.

 

ill see how things go foam. hopefully he does the right thing. :| just pretty pissed atm hehe. id love to have them.

 

I never got Grind or Shift hard when i own and driven it... My dad, my Ex Gf and few friends droven my Evo.. they seem fine to me. and plus i dont know why the clutch is gonna out and make tranny it hard.. i just talked Gruppe-s.com they say 525$ for whole rebuild kit clutch they gain price from $450 last year.. and soon they say Exedy may gain price...

hmm World one is out of business... that what i heard.. and i went to shop is closed... hmmm..

im not here to blame or whatever you want to blame.. i accept it...

 

wow world one went out of business? really?

 

Fortunately I've done my oil enough to not take your comment seriously. Unfortunately I tend to lean toward paranoia!

It shouldn't be enough of an overfill to worry about, though I still gotta take the car out and let it get warmed properly, but I'd hate to find out I was wrong when on I-5 S near the Dike Access road on the way to ER tomorrow!

 

dam Dike Access.......

and I really doubt World One is out of business

 

yahu- adding an extra 1/4 qt of oil...is not gonna matter. thats minimal! now...an extra 3/4-1qt you should prolly drain some LOL!

 

Is that the clutch that is in there ? YOU know for SURE chris? i dont want to order from MAP and and have to pay a 30% restocking fee..

 

do you always access your dike at 1/4 over half-barrel?

Personally I access my dike at the reccomended setting. Too much lube and its like sloppy seconds.

 

world one isnt gone its world c&g now you can still order parts from them they just dont do much labor anymore

 

anybody have a world one phone number? Chris said he has a warranty on it the clutch so if i can speak to them it would be great!!

Btw, anyone want to buy my greddy Ti Exhaust catback?? or partial trade for something with LOW tone.. Let me know!

 

Is yours the Greddy TI or TI-C?

 

not sure, is hanahawaiian's for sale post it states "TRUST Ti Catback (JDM) "

 

thats a nice exhaust! i just bought the US version rolled tip one! i wanted that TRUST one! oh well all good!
