if you put a excess of oil in your engine it will cause your oil pressure to rise to extremes and in result you will blow a head gasket and/or oil pan gasket.. both are expensive to fix.
The above answer is totally incorrect. To much oil will cause the crankshaft to make contact with the excess oil. This will create cavitation. This will mix air with the oil creating a foamy mix. This drastically reduces the lubricating ability of the oil causing severe engine wear on all bearings and rings, plus overheating. Drain out any excess oil immediately and never overfill a crankcase.
It can do just as much damage as too little oil. Drain out the excess oil.
Oil is drained by placing a container underneath the engine and opening the drain plug in the oil pan. Opening it slowly will allow you to control the flow.
When a car begins belching smoke, it is probably burning excess oil or gas. It is likely that a seal is leaking in the engine.
The color of the smoke will help identify the problem. Blue smoke is engine or transmission oil. Black smoke, excess fuel. White smoke, engine coolant.
what is a good engine oil to use in my car
it will burn oil and damage the plugs and emissions systems resulting in a check engine light and in 02 sensors and cat converter replacement which will keep the car from passing inspection until repaired. drain excess oil with a topsider or at the drain plug. do not drive with the car in this state
Excess engine wear at startup and at full operating temperature. Use only the weight oil that is recommended by the manufacture.
look underneath the engine. Directly in the middle and front of the engine. The filter is facing the front of the car. They have also included a spout to redirect excess oil from spilled down the side of the engine base. ** Make sure you have a oil pan near by to catch any oil drippings **
Yes, a person can put to much oil in a car. It usually will not hurt a car, but the excess oil can cause smoking if it gets on the motor.
It will cause sever engine wear. The crankshaft will make contact with the excess oil and create a froth of oil mixed with air. This froth is a poor lubricate which will cause severe engine wear. Drain out the excess oil immediately.
Use the dipstick. If the oil line is over the line that says something like MAX. you have too much. In any case, it will usually blow a lot of the excess out of the crankcase breather and oil will be all over that side of the engine and engine compartment.
The crankshaft can make contact with the oil and cause cavitation. This will create a froth of oil mixed with air. This oil/air mixture is a very poor lubricant. This will cause severe engine wear on all moving parts. If you continue to run this engine it will self destruct. Always drain out any excess oil when you overfill.
