Overfilling the engine by half liter- bad?

[suv]

di ba usually pag bibili engine oil eh 4 liters.....

Pero hindi namna uubusin lahat yun meron matitira.....

Paano kung inubos lahat.....masama ba sa engine?

as long as the oil is not over the full mark on your dipstick your ok. Masama kung over filled ang engine.

It depends on the oil capacity of the engine. Not all engines take less than 4 liters of oil, check your dipstick when the engine is cold to see the oil level.

As long as you're sure you've checked the dipstick properly (level ground, warmed up to operating temp, engine off) and it still reads higher than max, then you should drain a bit until the correct level is reached. In the long term, masama siya, but as long as you drain the excess amount soon then you should be fine.

Otherwise, you're forcing the engine seals to wear more due to the added volume of oil they have to handle.

Kasi pag malamig yung engine yung dipstick nasa max na.....pag mainit na engine eh above max na.... Pero konti lang naman...

Ipadrain ko na?

KAsi di ba pag cold pa engine eh yung dipstick below sa max dapat....pag uminit lang engine doon lang mag level sa max

Ngek ako me overfill mga half a centimeter siguro, dahil napasaya sa pagbuhos ng engine oil hehehe. Due for oil change naman ako this april thats the time na lang na magdedrain ako . . .

hmm alam ko dapat baliktad. kung malamig ang engine, dapat mas mataas ang level sa dip stick kasi lahat ng oil nasa oil pan. kung mainit or kakatakbo lang, mas mababa ang reading kasi yung ibang oil nakadikit pa sa cylinder walls, crankshaft, etc. correct me if i'm wrong ha.

also, don't measure sa unang hugot ng dip stick. dapat punasan mo muna then dip uli at dun mo lang tignan kung ano talaga yung level.

as i remember nasa manual na dapat hindi lumagpas sa max level ang lahat ng fluids na ilalagay mo. be it brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, transmission oil or engine oil. there's a reason for that so to be safe, sundin mo na lang.

the best is to follow the specs,kaya nga may dipstick e.pero IMO,half liter is not so bad,pag umaandar nasa itaas naman o nasa walls ung equivalent ng half liter na yan e.aeration will not take place,pwede pa kung underfilled kasi hangin na mahihigop ng sump strainer mo.e nakalobug un sa ilalim,papano hahanginin.di gasket ang unang bibigay kundi mga oil seals.cyl walls ay splash fed kaya kailangan din na may splash ng oil for lubrication syempre at to lessen the heat of your upper crankcase.Kaya d'best...keep it in level.drive safely!
