How much oil is too much, im about half a quart over Options

[pepsiman]

When i changed my oil the last time i overfilled it by about half a quart, this happend because much to my rage i spilled some so i overcompensated too much when i tried to put in a little over 4 quarts. The engine has been run for a few weeks like this, yesterday while the engine was warmed up i checked my oil and was shocked at how overfilled it was, i was wondering will this hurt anything? Thanks for the help

you dont want to check your engine oil while the engine is running. if you do it will always read high on your dip stick because the oil is being pumped around in the engine and that can cause a miss read if you check it. you have to let it sit for at least a few min (not 1 min but 5-10 mins) untill you can properly check it. if you drained it while using that reading you took with the engine running, you might be to low now.

just wanna like you know
