Too Much Oil

[leg46y]

hey guys,

2 weeks ago i did an oil change on my car, and as i usually do, i bought 2x 4Ltr Bottles because i like putting 5 Ltrs in to the car.

But unconciosly ive poured all 8 Ltrs into the car and thought nothing of it.

So a few days ago my cars started to smoke a little and only then did i realise what i had done.

So obviously ive gotton rid of about 3-4 Ltrs from the car but the car is still burning some off and smoking.

So im guessing theres still oil in the system and was wondering which other way can i get rid of all the excess oil? without waiting for the car car to burn it, Which wouldnt be a good idea anyways..................

any help would be appreciated

Do another oil change, see if its still doing it

[dori34]

8L wtf.

thats alot!

take it to your mechanic

O.o rb20 takes( my car) 4.-4.4l but YOU shouldnt over fill ur oil. on the dipstick 3/4 to max at 8o degree's( operational temp) is the measurement to much and to low can cause issues

Hi.

Perhaps you should remove the sump plug and let some oil drain out until you have the right level.

I'm more amazed that you managed to pour 8L into the engine Your lucky you didn't blow out the rear crank seal.

So you've allready poured out 4-5L but it is still burning it?

[gfunkk]

you've probably blown your turbo oil seal?

8L haha

[naut]

still blowing smoke? probably did your piston rings.

Dude, got any more of those drugs you were on??????

They sound freakishly funky!!!

[jeffworld2]

did you remove any oil before you put the 8L in? just checking

All you can do is wait for it to (hopefully) burn away. don't be suprised if it runs like a pig for a few hundred k's either.

If you want another crack, empty all the oil out the sump and put 5L back in the top

nice job. sorry it's off topic but this may make you feel a little better. Back when i worked in a servo some twit bought a 5 litre oil bottle and poured the BLOODY LOT into the petrol tank of daddy's brand new hsv clubsport. he came back in a cloud of smoke complaining of a dodgy batch of oil i had sold him and when i checked the security tapes i pissed myself. bet daddy didn't. and yet he had 4 mates in the car with him and no one uttered a word.

i finally made some time to visit the mechanic, so the car will be taken tomorow to be checked out,

it only smokes on idle, when i stop at lights etc. so im hoping its minor.............

wll see how it goes

I had no idea an RB25 sump could handle 8 litres, thats almost double what it should be.

[bumble_bee]

the rb25 sump CAN NOT take 8Ltr's "ParagOn"

if u wer to fill it more than 4.4Ltrs of oil..

it(oil) would start to go up to ur through to fill up ur engine..

depending on how much oil u put in.....

as in his case.. 8ltrs...lol

[rodger1]

your lucky you didn't hydralic lock it and snap some rods

[femno]

^^ Yeah cause overfilling the oil means it will go into the combustion chamber...you know less than he does you fool.

Seriously, you needa be more careful from now on dude, or just have someone who knows what theyre doing work on your car instead.

I'd be more worried about spinning a bearing because of the air bubbles the crank is causing when hitting the oil. chances are you've messed up the crancase pressure and oil is coming out of your turbo seal, PCV or even your beathers.

drop the oil but wait a while for the oil to run down the walls of the block, crank and rods, you could re-use the oil you put in there just make sure you dont contaminate it.

[leg46y]

late update but just letting you guys know, it was just the turbo seal,

it took a lot of cleaning out but it all seems fine now.

so i guess lucky me........
