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.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
