I've searched but this is more specific to my case.

When I got my S used, I changed the oil right away, about 5 qts. About 3K miles later I checked my dip stick and it was under the "L." I poured in about 3 qts (didn't know that was overfilled) of oil and drove it for about 150 miles. Would that have any damaging affect on my engine? I hit VTEC a couple of times.

What was the oil level after pouring in those 3 qts??


All depends on how much you overfill... but could affect a lot of oil seals etc...

Check ur exhaust, if u overfill u will shoot out of the exhaust.

It was about half the diamond area over. Didn't realized it since I didn't sleep that night and couldn't see the oil level because it was so clear. I drained and refilled it already. Didn't see any smoke out the exhaust.

Thanks for the help. I didn't want to ruin my engine because of a stupid mistake like this.

wow i remmeber i over fill my MR2 TURBO, that much and my whole car shoot out oil all over the engine and the car was done. i took it to the shot and they have to drain my oil, clean up engine, intake manifold exhaust side etc..... it sucked man. dumb mistake. never ever made same mistake twice.

Except for the concern that it took 3 quarts to fill the engine!

If true, you were running the engine on only 2-2.5 quarts in the sump. I certainly hope THAT did not harm the engine.

I think I was running around 3.5 - 4 qts before I overfilled.
