Oil Overfill?
 

Yeah... the dealer... first oil change and they put in an extra quart. I manged to suck about 1/3 out of the dip tube--1/4" od plastic tube and big syringe. But that is all I can take as my tube is now sucking air! (The 5/16 tube would not go in... so has to be 1/4" or less, and that with a slant front edge cut.)

I suppose I can go under and use the drain plug... crush washer and all. But I am looking for an excuse not to. I know some track folks overfill in the absence of an oil-pan baffle...

Is the engine happy with the excess left in? Anyone know how to suck more out of the dip tube?

Take it back to the dealer?

It would be a 100 mile round trip... (I would thank you for the suggestion, but apparently I am not trusted with a Thank button yet!)

1. It's fine, especially if you already removed 1/3 qt. No sweat.
2. If it really bugs you, maybe try getting more out by lifting the back (edit: or now that I think of it, the front), or parking on a slope.
3. It's fine. ;)

The only solution at this point is to burn the dealership down.

"Lift the back"!! Genius!! First thing tomorrow... which means early afternoon as I am also old and lazy.


Does anyone know how sensitive these engines are to excess oil... foaming being the main concern?

They aren't. There's plenty of room in there.
