Engine oil is a critical fluid that lubricates and reduces friction in vehicle engines. The appropriate engine oil will go a long way toward ensuring that your car runs smoothly. Engine oil has a variety of tasks in ensuring that an engine runs smoothly over time.
Overfilling or underfilling your car with engine oil is bad. It doesn’t matter if you’re using synthetic or organic oil. Every car has its recommended engine oil as well as the amount to be used for your engine. In case you mistakenly fall into the dilemma of overfilling your engine with oil for one reason or the other, there are adverse effects for that. Your engine won’t function optimally and will be subjected to stress. Just like in human body, overfilling your engine is like taking an overdose of a medication.
For petrol engines, you might start seeing or noticing some or all of these in your car when you overfill it with engine oil.
Don’t listen to those mechanics who would want to give you one thousand and one reasons why you should use 5-liters of engine oil instead of the 4-liters recommended by the manufacturer of your car. If you continue overfilling, you’ll end up creating more problems for your car.
The quickest way to determine if there is too much oil in the engine is through the use engine oil dipstick. The dipstick has marks to show if your car has too much, too little, or the perfect amount of oil.Develop the habit of checking the level frequently most especially after oil change.
There are other indicators that will suggest you have an overfill problem. This includes blue exhaust smoke, a burning smell, an oil leak, or a high reading on your oil pressure gauge (if equipped). If the engine is running rough or your check engine light illuminates, the cause may be excess oil contacting the spark plugs and causing a misfire.
In case you have too much engine oil in your engine, you’ll need to drain it out or risk harming your engine. If you’re DIY savvy, you can do the draining yourself. If not, head to a competent mechanic workshop and get it done immediately.
Don’t procrastinate doing this for the sake of your pocket.
