O/t car help

Sat Mar 26, 2011 7:47 am

My girlfreinds car has too much oil in it. When I check the oil it's half way up that testing rod thingy!!

I am crap with cars and not sure how this has happened!

Should I worry about it??

Any help would be great

Come on Wales :ayatollah:

I think you will have to drain some off mate from the sump, unscrew the nut a few turns and drain some into an old container.

I overfilled a Renault 5 GT Turbo I had years ago with oil. I had no idea how much harm that can do to a high-performance turbocharged engine until I saw the bill!! :cry:
