Ran it for about 1 hr prior to draining excess oil. The motor is a "73 1.7. Thanks. Regarding your question "can too much oil damage your motor"? the answer is probably yes & probably not. if only a small amount i.e. a couple of ounces extra r added, probably not. The opposite can be true if too much is added (depends on the engine of course) but anything close to a quart or more can cause harm. this is why: the excess oil can contact the spinning crankshaft (the level is too high) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) & be whipped into a kind of froth that is not able to be properly squeezed (pressurized) & sent through the engine. |
