Over filling will not affect oil pressure. Oil pressure is controlled by oil temperature, viscosity, engine rpm, engine wear/ tolerance, pressure control valve in the pump and pump design in general. But if your engine normally hold X pressure at Y rpm. Adding a quart/Liter to the oil pan will not affect X if everything else is the same.
I love the american consideration of importance of feelings.. How much oil you feel is too much? Yeah, it's about the feelings from the bottom of my soul! Thanks for the vid!
@type568 this dudes not even American. And real Americans don't give a fuck about that shit that's a small group that's preying on the younger people that are easier to persuade to get them to go out and divide the masses because everybody knows that together we're way more powerful than any other nation could dream of being. But they can only convince the dumb ones believe me they are a small minority it's just publicized because the same people doing the convincing are of the same crowd that owns the media and are currently involved in a racial clensing in a place they have been programmed to believe is theirs. They don't speak for most of us we just unfortunately have a system that has been corrupted by money and they just so happen to control the moving of that too.
On my 14 mazda 6 it calls for 4.8 quarts/4.5L but putting in that exact amount puts it a little half on the dipstick. I run it like that any ways and have had no issues. Now i work as a oil lube tech and i do a lot of oil changes and have done many oil changes on many different 2.5 sky active Mazda 6's, Mazda 3's, ect. You can tell whether the car was built in japan or mexico by looking at the vin number and one thing I've noticed is the Japanese built ones like my mazda 6 the dipstick reads low with 4.8 put in. But on the Mexico factory-built ones the dipstick reads full with 4.8 put in. Ive noticed that the dipstick wont quite read full with a couple other cars to. My thought is that the dipsticks designed to read full after the oil is hot on some motors so when the oils cold it will read low but once you drive for awhile and get the oil temp up it will read on the full mark. Idk if thats true or not but its what ive experienced with my mazda anyways.
On my 3rd Gen Prius, the PCV valve is horizontal on the block. Too much oil and the engine will be throating raw engine oil. Toyota says 4.4 quarts but I only fill to 4.1 quarts so as to minimize the oil that’ll pass into the PCV tube.
I've heard that oil level may increase due to accumulation of water and dilutants like unburnt fuel from short trips, and that a good long drive will sort it out because of high temperature for sufficient time. So when i saw the oil level above what I expeected and then drove 500km (planned trip, not just whimsy) it did return to normal. So I suggest when changing oil, fill to the maximum level on the dip stick, and check from time to time. If the car is not leaking or smoking you should not see the level fall. If it rises then maybe you are doing too much short trip driving and really need to go on a trip of a few hours on a highway, then check again.
@@torquecars what I forgot to say was that it was surprising how much change could be seen. I even thought the dealer may have done it incorrectly. After the warranty was done I did the next oil change myself. It might not seem like much but it was about the content of the filter amount of change. I would think that adding 10% water and fuel mix to the sump after changing the oil according to spec' is probably a bad idea, but that is kind of what happens in short drives over time. The other thing I didn't say is it's a PHEV and I was always trying to avoid short trip stop start running of the engine. Like using the battery (EV mode) if the trip could be completed that way and running the engine on the motorway to get up to and maintain operating temperature when I knew the battery would not be sufficient. Yet with all my best intentions, I still saw oil level over the full mark until after a real long trip.
Watching this after I overfilled my 1.8 TFSI. I checked the oil through the multimedia interface while driving the car and that gave me a wrong reading and I added a full 1L of oil after checking it like that (it was at min but no oil light on). Now I'm pissing my pants in fear that I permanently damaged the engine :(. Oil started to appear on the head cover and I changed the timing cover and gasket thinking that was causing the oil leaks. Also oil started to appear around the head cover gasket. I drove the car like this 350km. I will do an oil change tomorrow and check the damage (hopefully there will be none) with a mechanic.
@@torquecars too much oil explained why oil appeared on the head cover, luckily it burned through it pretty quick (I drive it sporty) and didn’t do any damage (mechanic looked at it). Also i drove it like this more than 350 kms :))))
I have run all my engines a quart over full. Going to help with oling the pistons and timing chains and lifters. Why you think they have oil squitters shooting oil at the pistons and rings. They never oil squitters years ago. They over baffle engines today just for a little better gas millage at the expense of the engine which you pay for after the warranty is gone.
If you have a EA888 engine - if it’s at max on dipstick on level ground add exactly 200ml and that is where you want to run a EA888 engine (any and all years) no less and no more. When my dipstick hits max level then I know to fill with exactly 200ml to be spot on. Hope this helps anyone else with a EA888
I don't overfill any of my engines, but I keep them at the max level. They build up oil pressure faster and a bit reserve if they should start leaking. I do overfill my differentials by jacking the vehicle up. A differential will push any extra out of the breather. Not a lot of extra fluid, maybe an additional few percent (example my dodge truck 8 ounces higher with a standard capacity of 100 ounces). I have a Polaris sportsman 570 that has a notorious front differential issue where the bushing for the pinion gear is notorious for wearing out anywhere from 700-2000 miles. I have 6000 miles and mine is nice and tight. I do not overfill any automatic transmissions. I follow the manufacturer's instructions. Just my $.02
So the proper way to measure on the dipstick is after driving for a while. Then wait at least 10 mins after you turn off your car to check the oil? I have read that oil needs to heat up so best to check after car has been driven.
Walmart overfilled my 2.4 VTec by a small amount. Is that cause for concern? I've been freaking out about it. It's the first time in my life I've ever taken my car to have the oil changed

Oil with air incorporated will have the same viscosity ?
@@pr0n5tar i think you need to look up the definition of viscosity.
it increases engine inside pressure
@@gabrielv.4358 the oil pan is much larger to accept an extra QT. NO WORRIES

Breathers prevent pressure build up... oil makes not difference, but blow by does.

@arthurrodesiler3109 too much Oil ?
Thats just costing more fuel to be used and more foam in the Oil.....not good.
This has nothing to do with "oiling the pistons". This makes no sense at all. the oil delivery will be the same at low mid or high oil levels

Interesting, thanks for sharing my friend.
Great video. Very informative.
fun fact, some engines need to be overfiled as at high rpm they run out of oil!
this is a design problem and should be ill3g 4L
So the proper way to measure on the dipstick is after driving for a while. Then wait at least 10 mins after you turn off your car to check the oil? I have read that oil needs to heat up so best to check after car has been driven.
I have to say that it seems to be the correct way. And also on a flat surface
I'm a dipstick because I overfilled it three times.
Walmart overfilled my 2.4 VTec by a small amount. Is that cause for concern? I've been freaking out about it. It's the first time in my life I've ever taken my car to have the oil changed
No don't worry, a little over seems fairly routine for garages and dealers, I guess they assume people wont top up or check.
My car manual states the engine requires 3.5 liters of oil but i usually fill 4 liters. Is that ok?
Really informative video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks buddy.
Question: My engine needs 4.3 liters ,i put 4.5 yestarday when changet my engine oil. Is ok?
Its okay 👍
You will be fine
I put way too much oil into the car, can I drive like 10km until the service station?
If its not too much only thing that will happen is that its going to force the seals on the engine. Dont rev it hard and its ok
