Too much oil?
Hello. 93 with a non-supercharge. Changed the oil, and filter. Added 5 quarts. Looks high on the dipstick. Added 5, I think, at last change also. Does this car only take 4 quarts? Have i hurt anything? Should I drain a quart? Do anything else?
Thanks. |

Re: Too much oil?
No need to drain anything, an additional 1/2 qt will not hurt anything.
