May 26th, 2003 08:10 AM #1hi! t'was my 1st time to do a DIY change oil on my 99 intercooler turbo starex. after having drained the old oil from the pan, changed the oil filter and air filter, i proceeded to fill the engine with fresh oil. after only filling about 4 liters (the manual says oil pan capacity alone is 4.9 liters), i checked the level with the dipstick and i was petrified that the level was about an inch above the full mark. what are the dangers, if any, of overfilling? i tried to dry up the pan by draining again the oil from the pan but the level is still above the full mark. lessons i've learned: not all of the old oil is drained when changing oil; and jack up the car when crawling underneath! your two cents worth please! thanks!
personally, i'd think thrice, before buying that toyota brand new rack and pinion, to fix my 2003...
