Too Much Engine Oil, Good Or Bad? by Mitchely: 12:06pm On Apr 03, 2013 |
Good Day auto gurus. I have noticed from my last two servicing (after covering 3000km) that after using 4litres, the engine oil would be below the gauge mark. My mechanic would recommend another 1litre which takes it to the mark, but after like two days, the oil would now be way above the mark. Is this bad or good for the car. The Car is a 97 Honda Accord 2.0 Manual Transmission and engine oil used is Total (20w50), have not been able to get the recommended grade. |

over filling and under filling is bad!!!..........check ur manual or google the correct oil volume for ur car...its most likely 4 liters, but check..engine oil is checked when the engine is warm..aie when it hasnt been driven..better in the mornings b4 u drive out...checking it when the engine is hot will introduce errors as the oil wud hv heated and expanded. |
