Thread: I think I have too much oil

Let me change that, I know I have too much oil, I changed my oil 2 days ago in my driveway (which is on a slight hill but not much, like less than 2 degrees), the level is at the bend past full, how bad is it to leave in there? I think it will blow a seal or something right, how do I get the extra out? Without taking the plug out

Hell just pull the plug and let some oil drain...

^^^thats what i would do.

how far over full are you? if its minimal you could just drive the thing like grandma until some burns off in a couple thousand miles.

Ive done the exact same from over the bend, took just over half a quart out to get it back down to the max line.

isnt the sr20 supposed to have 3.75 qts?

FSM says 3-5/8 quarts with filter change.

FSM says 3-3/8 quarts WITHOUT filter change.

And isn't det's even less like 3 1/2 due to smaller pan ? I allway put a tad more in for oil consumption but not too much Maybee Just under a 1/4 quart extra .

If its not over flowing from the valve cover you dont have too much....

As others have said, just drain a little out. I would not expect a little extrar would do any harm, but better safe then sorry.

I forgot to put that its in a ve engine, the thing is im going to be driving 300-350 miles (highway/semi-agressive) before tomorrow afternoon when I have some time to fix it, I just dont want to cause any damage to this engine
