My wife had taken our Honda Accord into a full service station recently and was told that the oil was overfull and that this posed a risk of damage. I took it back to Glen Lennox BP where the oild had last been changed and was told by a mechanic there that while there was more oil than there should be, this posed no risk. I told him that they had to assume responsibility for any damage and he said that they would. It sounded as though they put the 4 quarts of new oil in each time and do not check the level after doing so.
I bought gas there, too, and although I spoke with two people working there, neither said thank you for the business I had just given them at the pump.

It's pretty easy to check the oil level yourself... the problem with a high oil level is that *if* it get's high enough to reach the moving parts of the engine, it *MIGHT* foam up to the point that the engine experiences a lubrication deficiency. Did the low oil warning light ever come on? If not, there has not been any damage. If the light did come on, unless you continued to drive in that condition for a prolonged period, you might be lucky and suffer no damage.
ReplyDeleteAlso, did anyone correct the high oil level?
