The oil reservoirs cater to oil expansion when the engine warms up. Such may help redress the error of an overfilled oil.
However, if the oil is excessive, the following can be expected. There is so much pressure used to move so many moving parts in the engine. All these moving parts need constant lubrication to run smoothly.
Oil pressure changes can have the following devastating effects. It is easy to know if you have an auto oil overfill if you filled the oil yourself. However, sometimes this service is done by another person besides you. You should always check your engine oil levels regularly. To check your oil, run the engine for 5 — 10 minutes to get the oil warm. Switch off the engine and open the hood of your car. Reach for the oil dipstick and pull it out.
Wipe the oil from the dipstick with a clean, dry cloth. Return the dipstick inside and pull it out again. Driving with an overfilled oil will no doubt lead to engine failure. To avoid such a costly and preventable mistake, you should be alert to the following symptoms. The best way to deal with an oil overfill is to drain the excess oil. There are two ways to go about this. This option is easy, fast and less messy. You will need a suction pump to suck out the excessive oil. Open the hood of your car and pull the oil out.
You can do this from the cap access point or the oil dipstick tube. To suck the excess oil out, you can use either an automatic or a manual pump. This method leaves you clean. You do not need to lift and crawl under the hood of your car. You will need an oil-collecting pan and a drive socket wrench. Raise your car enough for you to crawl under it. Locate the oil plug. Using your drive socket wrench loosen the oil plug until oil starts to drip on the collecting pan.
Remove only a small amount and not all. Fasten the oil plug then go to the hood and check the reading on the oil dipstick. Been driving for days Running great It sputtered and blew a cloud of white smoke.
I pulled over and restarted engine with no problem. My mechanic drained the oil and replaced filter and it ran great. Noights came on but do I still have worry about engine damage? I own a Mazda 6 Sport. I knew it was not good. I decided to drive 20 miles to my mechanic and on the way while on tbe freeway my sputtered a bit and made clanging noise.
I noticed a cloud of white smoke. I pulled over and called AAA. While on the phone I decided to see if engine started. To my surprise it started with no problem or noise. I made it to my. Car ran great on my route back. I had make anotber trip a little later and wbilemaming a right turn onto a slight grade my car once again sputtered and let out a cloud of white smoke. But it once again continued to run great afterwards.
Is there a chance my engine can have damage? I want to add a pint of STP oil treatment to my engine but I just had oil changed and not sure if that would overfill engine. I have a Lincoln MKZ with only miles on it. It all depends on how much you overfilled it with.
However if it does make noise and vibrate there is a risk that any internal of the engine got damaged. You have to drain the oil again and fill it with the required amount and check if the noise is gone. If it still occur, I would recommend you let a mechanic listen to the engine before driving it, which could cause even more damages. I have a Citroen 1. I realised that excess engine oil poured into the engine of my car after driving of 40 km. In between the car was stopped several times first time after running of 15 km.
Then stopped after running of 7 km, then after 5km Then every km. After a great deal of thinking I could realised that excess engine oil poured into my car by the service station. After that I communicated with the mechanic about the matter. But the mechanic replied that excess engine oil is not the reason of stopping of engine, and it will not cause any problems in car. But I did not believe his reply.
I drained the excess quantam of engine oil. The problem is now improved but sometimes my said car stops while the car start after in the middle of running when the engine is being running to maintain traffic. On that time I feel that the engine is not getting fuel, I changed the fuel filter also. But nothing changes Kindly help by giving me what types of repairs can be done to running smoothly.
Continue to check the oil dipstick until the oil level is even with the full mark. Kenny Soward writes for various online publications, covering topics from physical fitness to religion.

References Edmunds. Com: Dipstick Oil Analysis. At the bottom of the oil pan, there will be a large bolt; that's the oil plug. When you locate it, put a plastic oil pan—it's different than you car's oil pan—under the oil plug.
Use your socket wrench to start loosening the oil plug. You want the overfill oil to start trickling out slowly. Let it drip until you think you have drained enough oil, then tighten it back up. If you loosen the oil plug too far too fast, you run the risk of actually taking it out. At that time, all of your engine oil will start pouring out.
You don't want that. After you have drained some oil, check your dipstick again. If it is still too full, repeat the process. If you drained too much, add some more oil until you get it in the right range.
