Most O.M caution to remove any overfilled oil. I wouldn't worry about a cup but I would drain a Qt. over fill.I wouldn't worry about it.
You are pulling the filter. Not the plug.I would pull the plug back. Drain some out and put it back in.Rhanks!
But if I unscrew the oil filter, won’t oil keep leaking out and make a big mess if I don’t have a pan and stuff ready? Or am I wrong
That should be OK.I’m on the road so I can’t go back to the same shop. I crawled under and got some out. Should have drained more but what do you guys think now?
Sorry the photo isn’t the best but now it’s another 1 centimetre past full. The photo isn’t good. It’s still slightly overfilled but before it was literately 1 inch overfilled on the dipstick
Personally I would drain it. I can't stand when it's overfilled even just a bit nevermind a whole inch. DIY or bring it back. I agree with what Lubener said.In my truck with a 6.0 Vortec GM LQ4; the lube place seems like they overfilled by 1 inch on my dipstick. I checked many times on various diff surfaces once I got home. It originally takes 6 quarts for the engine but idk how much they put in.
I didn't care to check cuz I’ve never had this problem before.
It’s basically an inch above the hash marks on the dipstick.
so do I drain? Or what do I look for?
thx
