Too much oil???
Saturday, February 19, 2005 6:08 PM
Have a REALLY dumb question! I was putting antfreeze in the gf's car today, and decided to check the oil. It said it was LOW, so i put a quart in. I checked again and it still wasnt full, so i put another quart in. But after i was thinking, "Did i put too much oil in"??? None came out of the "resevoir", like it didnt come out from putting too much in, but i just had a weird feeling about it. Is it possible i put too much in, or would it have come out at me if i had put too much. Thanks

You want to be in the hash marks on the dipstick. Any over the hash marks and its too much.
