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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
