checking engine oil using dip stick

**lnce420** · February 28th, 2010 08:14 AM

nalilito ako dun sa pickup ko(nissan eagle), pag kakaandar lang ng makina then after mga 5-10 mins nakapatay, yung oil level nya sa dipstick is mga 1/2 lang.

pag overnight naman nakapatay then check sa umaga e lagpas sa full.

nag overfill kaya ako?

oil travels inside the engine when in use, so it does not stay in the oil pan/catch(forget the exact term) underneath the engine. and of course, if engine is off, the oil drains back to the oil pan, that is where the dipstick reads the level of the oil.

if lumagpas sa full level ang reading, maybe you have overfill it. its not that harmfull but on your next change oil, better be sure to fill it just right.

lutang pa ko

That's right! Kaya mas magandang mag check ng oil level pag umaga, before starting your engine.

IMHO, overfilling your engine with oil may not cause harm to it but will affect its performance . . . Sa experience kasi namin ay medyo hirap humatak pag "lunod" yung makina sa langis.

Mga sirs, try running on a knee deep water. tignan kung gaano kahirap. this is comparable to an engine overfilled with lube oil.

imho, mas ok saken yung warm up the engine muna then let the oil drain back. then check the oil level
