When i changed my oil the last time i overfilled it by about half a quart, this happend because much to my rage i spilled some so i overcompensated too much when i tried to put in a little over 4 quarts. The engine has been run for a few weeks like this, yesterday while the engine was warmed up i checked my oil and was shocked at how overfilled it was, i was wondering will this hurt anything? Thanks for the help

QUOTE (pepsiman @ May 12, 2008 - 8:28 PM)  alright guys thanks for all the replies, so is half a quart (roughly) over enough to do all that? If it is ill drain it alittle tommrow shouldnt be too big of a deal It'll be worse if you have a high mileage engine as all the seals are probably worn if not leaking already. My oil is always at 3/4 you never want too low or high.
