SevenSisters Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 For about $7.50 you can drain and replace with the proper amount and not worry. Or, suck some out the dip stick tube. Sorry, I don't know if 1qt XS will hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Clark Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 And take some lightweight sandpaper to your dipstick, it makes it easier to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazz698 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Too much oil in your motor can cause seals/gaskets to go once you hit the gas hard enough. I dont know how much oil you need to put in in order to accomplish this tho, the one time I tried (I was mad at a mustang I had) I kept popping the half assed "seal" around the dipstick tube since the sleeve has snapped and it was only held in place by the dipstick.

charlierh2 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 if your oil is over filled it can also get frothy and not cool properly... but i doubt 1 qt would do to much damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
