hey guys,

2 weeks ago i did an oil change on my car, and as i usually do, i bought 2x 4Ltr Bottles because i like putting 5 Ltrs in to the car.

But unconciosly ive poured all 8 Ltrs into the car and thought nothing of it.

So a few days ago my cars started to smoke a little and only then did i realise what i had done.

So obviously ive gotton rid of about 3-4 Ltrs from the car but the car is still burning some off and smoking.

So im guessing theres still oil in the system and was wondering which other way can i get rid of all the excess oil? without waiting for the car car to burn it, Which wouldnt be a good idea anyways..................

any help would be appreciated

O.o rb20 takes( my car) 4.-4.4l but YOU shouldnt over fill ur oil. on the dipstick 3/4 to max at 8o degree's( operational temp) is the measurement to much and to low can cause issues

Hi.

Perhaps you should remove the sump plug and let some oil drain out until you have the right level.

did you remove any oil before you put the 8L in? just checking

All you can do is wait for it to (hopefully) burn away. don't be suprised if it runs like a pig for a few hundred k's either.

If you want another crack, empty all the oil out the sump and put 5L back in the top

nice job. sorry it's off topic but this may make you feel a little better. Back when i worked in a servo some twit bought a 5 litre oil bottle and poured the BLOODY LOT into the petrol tank of daddy's brand new hsv clubsport. he came back in a cloud of smoke complaining of a dodgy batch of oil i had sold him and when i checked the security tapes i pissed myself. bet daddy didn't. and yet he had 4 mates in the car with him and no one uttered a word.

^^ Yeah cause overfilling the oil means it will go into the combustion chamber...you know less than he does you fool.

Seriously, you needa be more careful from now on dude, or just have someone who knows what theyre doing work on your car instead.

I'd be more worried about spinning a bearing because of the air bubbles the crank is causing when hitting the oil. chances are you've messed up the crancase pressure and oil is coming out of your turbo seal, PCV or even your beathers.

drop the oil but wait a while for the oil to run down the walls of the block, crank and rods, you could re-use the oil you put in there just make sure you dont contaminate it.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
