Re: Half a quart over
Probably won't hurt, but you didn't give the year or engine.
Interestingly, the factory fix for the low oil indication on all the time for the '93 JGC V-8 is to provide a recalibrated dipstick, and fill the crankcase with an extra 1/2 quart. ---- On Sat, 10 Jan 2004 22:35:38 -0800, "William Oliveri" <wuji@bigvalley.net> wrote: >I accidently overfilled my oil by about a half a quart.
