Toyota 2.5L 2Ar-fe overfilled by 0.5q

[apollo18]

Hey all, went to get an oil change on my 2015 Rav 4 with the 2arfe

I believe it calls for around 4.6 quart ish

The shop I went to used a whole 5q bottle as I could see him pour it in. When it was too late I asked him and he said it’s fine these engines don’t care about oil level

Any ideas if this is too overfilled? Should I pull over somewhere else and ask them to remove some?

Thanks

My 2013 Camry with the 2AR also calls for 4.6 quarts per the owner's manual. With a new filter and a 5 quart jug it puts it right at the full line on the dipstick. I'd say you're just fine.
And yes, that is after letting the engine run to circulate the oil.

Same on my Tacoma. Full fill with filter change calls for 5.5quarts. 6 quarts takes it to the full line.

How about posting links to some of those videos? I've only seen the one from the Russian garage, and it was both informative and entertaining.

If you Google “engine with clear oil pan” several YT videos pop up right away. Feel free to watch them and post them for the team at your convenience.

A Lada is based on a 1960s Fiat so it will have different tolerances than a modern car.

I was watching M539 and overfilling a Maserati by 1 quart causes it to smoke out of the exhaust.

When I overfilled my Mazda by 0.5 quart there was bubbles on my dipstick.

I dump the full 5 in my 09 Camry. Never had an issue.

There’s a good reason for that.

It's not an issue.

Once it's on the internet, it stays on the internet.

Wait, what are we talking about?

My Nissan is 4.89 Qts in goes 5 all the time.

Snapshot from one of those video. Topping off a little extra not only seems irrelevant but maybe even beneficial.

thanks for this but what about people saying the oil will foam? seems like needs to be way too high to foam

Oil level would have to touch the crank for that to happen.

Our Rav4 with the A25A-FXS engine calls for 4.8 quarts. I just dump the whole 5 qts and move on until the next change 6 months later.
