im an idiot, (oil) Options

[DeathWing]

refilling 7afe oil i went over the limit w/o noticing (guess for 0.5 liter), i took the car for a ride and a lot of smoke, stoped at home, trying to drop the extra oil, dropped some but it stops at certain point but cant drop more (im like 7% over the full F limit), and now the car is running funny, very low rpms on idle, i dont wanna try taking it out with that, now dunno what to do

[playr158]

eh i over filled mine probably that much before..i just drove it till it burned it all out...but if you really want get under the car and loosen the drain plug a little let some out and your good to go

[DeathWing]

i did that, but its still overfilled and no more oil drops

the oil indicator is like
E|------------|-F
like 10% over the limit

dunno why it doesnt drop, the drain plug is out and the oil cover at the top of the engine too

[playr158]

thats pretty much impossible?
if your drain plug is out...all your oil is GONE

are you whiping off the dip stick after each check?

[DeathWing]

if by whipping off u mean cleaning the metal bar thats being done(my english is bad), im starting to thing the oil fluid is being obstructed or something

maybe its true the engine doesnt have enough oil but i dunno really im scared and starting to thing i messed the engine and im commiting suicide <.<

[DeathWing]

ok anti idiot check, the oil plug is just below the oil filter isnt it? maybe i removed oil from somewhere else

[MaskedMan]

the oil plug is under your car on the oil pan.

[DeathWing]

ok now for the fix, where did i removed oil from?

[n1ckz0r]

where did you put the oil into I think is the more important question.

[6gcSTVT]

Alright, if you put too much in... u can get under your car and loosen the plug to your oil pan which is right past the plastic under guard and let some out, if you think somethings blocking your dip stick I personally know that our 1.8l engines will take exactly 4 quarts of oil and be within the E---------F . That picture you posted is of your oil filter..... which you replace after you drain the oil. Any more questions PM me.

[MaskedMan]

Im confused though. Is that where you drained your old oil out from? From the pic, it looks like your oil filter is off. I don't understand how you removed it without alot of your oil draining out and still being 10% over full.

[DeathWing]

the oil filter is here on this pic, just below the metal cover

it was a big plastic thing like the size of a small glass it said oil filter, maybe u r confused about the angle of the pic, what i remove was 10 cms below it was a 14mm nut i removed

[Celica power]

hmmm looks like the nut you removed can be use for oil presur meter

But the transmisson oil is also very close there

[MaskedMan]

alright yeah the high angle through me off. So you drained your old oil out of that hole with the 14mm bolt? How much oil did you drain out of it?

[rayneezy23]

its alright we can all be idiots sometimes

[hitcachi]

dude, you gotta get UNDERNEATH your car to find the oil drain plug and oil pan. I would do it soon before your blow a seal or gasket or some sh*t with that much oil in it.

[DeathWing]

alright yeah the high angle through me off. So you drained your old oil out of that hole with the 14mm bolt? How much oil did you drain out of it?

i may have drained like a 1 lt, i think ill leave the car there, dont think its gonna be damaged if i dont turn it on, gonna continue tomorrow

[MaskedMan]

So you drained one liter, hmm which is just a little under a quart. how much oil did you put back into your engine after you drained it? I recommend you completely change your oil again becuase your new oil mixed with about 3/4ths of your old oil. But this time drain the oil from under the car.

[DeathWing]

ok will try that tmorrow will do a full oil change, any pics from where that drain thinng should be located? i couldnt find it last time

[MaskedMan]

Sorry i dont have any oictures of a 7afe, but this is the best i could come up with...

Ok go under your car, a little but more on the passenger side. you should look for your oil pan, it looks something like this...


There should be a bolt there. that is the one you want to remove, but make sure you have a big container under there first before you remove it cuase im guessing you have about 5-6 liters of oil in your engine (depending on how much you put back in. Im just guessing this amount becuase 4 quarts will usually get you between E--------F, but you say your passed F) but anyways good luck with it

its time to visit a mechanic.

[DeathWing]

im first hoping to try to solve it here

[MaskedMan]

are you sure what you removed last time was engine oil?

[DeathWing]

yes,i found the oil pan that looked as the one in the pic u posted and found the bolt, i removed from bit to bit till the oil marker was at full, then all putted back, no white smoke or anythnig like that but engine is moving like in normal conditions would do at 500 rpm but at 1100 rpm, no response problems or anything, just that, maybe a lil noise but sounds like the alternator rubber connecting it with the engine, im thinking the problem might be the "oil" i removed the first time, but i have no clue where is it from

[DeathWing]

ive uploaded a small video (the sounds is not very accurate to me it actually sounds a lil like a truck, not the washing mashine like in the vid)

[DeathWing]

ive searched but damn i cant find what is that oil plug conected to, the other oil meter hasnt dropped, (deathwing wants to kill himself)

[MaskedMan]

hmm the video wasn't working for me.

haha don't kill yourself man, just step back and take a deep breath haha. Since i can't see what the problem is, i don't really want to recommend anything else that could possibly put you in a worse situation. You should prolly have a mechanic look at it before moving on.

[playr158]

you need to get a better picture of the nut you removed (the first time)

i think he may have pulled the oil pressure sender?

[DeathWing]

ok got fixed, the other plug was engine oil too, so no problem there

the problem my car had after that was the third cilinder's spark plug was not working x(, i got it replaced and way to go!
