How many people put in like 0.2 quarts too much and searched this video just for peace of mind?? 🤣
My Toyota dealer overfilled my oil by 50% of the acceptable range. When confronted, the service manager lied to me by saying "overfill is OK, and can be good for the engine". I told him that he's full of BS and stopped servicing my Toyota with that dealer. It turns out, they never replaced the oil filter because they overtighten and couldn't remove the plastic oil filter housing. But they put in the same amount of oil as if the filter and the oil in the oil filter housing were removed. I now trust only my DIY oil change.
No need to worry about too much oil with my BMW it always helps make it disappear
After an oil change, whether by the minimum wage earning " oil change technician" at a 10 Minute Oil Change franchise or the novice "certified" mechanic at your dealer's service department, check the oil in the parking lot before you leave the facility. Check for level and cleanliness (and that they did, in fact change the oil filter). Don't trust anyone who makes their living with a socket wrench.
1/2 liter over is generally not a problem. I’ve done it myself from time to time. But when you approach a liter or more past the max mark, you’re asking for trouble.
The worst thing of having too much oil in your engine can blow the rear seal.
I just bring the engine oil that i purchased to my mechanic, and i bring a little bit less than it's supposed to be...the rest of it i add myself if needed.
Just a friendly reminder folks…. Always check your engine oil on a level surface.
If you don't have enough Oil is Bad for engine. I'd rather have more oil than less oil.
My car manual says 4.8, I put 5.5. The comment section put way more than me and say it's no issue.
Thank you so mutch for all the information it's big big apreciated . have a nice christmas and a new year sir
I appreciate the education and guidance I’ve recently purchased my first bmw 2004 530i and I’ve taken your philosophy on maintaining this beautiful car full transmission rebuild. For peace of mind. I replaced my radiator water pump and expansion tank along with all rubber hoses. Replaced front and rear shock and strut brand new tires new battery car re coded along with front and rear control arms and related parts along with new brakes all around New spark plugs and wires. Non of this was a pressing issue or needed to be done but I want peace of mind owning this thing. Now I might consider doing an exhaust but that’s it for performance. Thank you for the advice or treating a bmw proper.
Great Content Mark 👍 have a fabulous week 🇨🇦
I like the fact that this is in Canada and you spoke in litres for us Australians also great advice
Excellent PSA here. Too much oil can be detrimental to the engine. Speaking of oil I'm sure you're rooting for Edmonton to get the Cup!!
Thank you. I will drain it this weekend. I just bought the car about 2 weeks ago. I looked at the oil at the dealership and it smelled and seemed fine but I checked it 2 days ago after it had sat over night in my garage (level) and it looks to be about a half quart over. Going to "pull the plug" over my drain pan, let it down, check it, top off as needed. Run to operating temp, cut it off, let sit for a while top it again as needed.
Good video as usual Mark. I added about 600 mL too much oil to a Honda CR V with an oil capacity of 4.2 litre. I think I’m going to drain a little from the oil pan if I can force myself to do it. Thanks
Thank you for this education video.. good to know.
I'd say not enough is much worse than, too much? I will admit, I run a little bit more oil in my one vehicle, than I would ever recommend anyone else try? Anywhere from a 1/2 qt. to 1 qt? The worst that could happen, is blow out a seal, hopefully not a rear main or front main, but I have never had any issues, been observing the process for years, with no issues? Not enough oil is a huge issue, I won't have to go into, as common sense will take care of that one? What people don't realize, is that the lower the oil drops in an engine, the faster it is consumed? Great job, sir.
