How can you tell if there is too much oil in your 95 pathfinder?
After the engine has not been running for at least 30 minutes and the vehicle is parked on a level surface, pull out the oil dip stick and wipe it off. Fully insert it again and then remove it. Look on the dipstick. If you see that the oil level is above the full mark it is overfull. Drain out any excess oil as it can damage your engine over time. Slightly overfull is ok but more than a pint is not.

Remove the oil fill cap which has a built-in dipstick. Wipe the dipstick with a clean rag.

Check the level and color of the oil on the dipstick. * Note: When replacing and removing the dipstick, try not to shake the bike around as this will give a false reading.
