Too Much Oil?
First oil change 2012 ss/rs I filled up oil filter prior to installing. while putting in the mobile 1 oil I thought there were gallon=4 quarts. on my second one "gallon" I noticed there 5 quart containers. so I stopped with about a quart left in the container. I started it for a min then shut it off let it set for a few min and checked the oil and noticed it right at the top of the XXXXXX marks maybe a hair over.
Im going on a long road trip in a few days, my car has 4k miles on it Should I drain a little out or will it be ok? |
I think you will be fine, do you have a catch can? I think that might help with assuring that it will be ok too.
|
You be ok
|
no catch can yet was doing a few other mods that was my next investment
|
No worries.

That's full to me.

I'd say get a catch can before any other mod. After all whats the point of having all of those performance enhancing mods and the carbon build up is contradicting the mods and decreasing the overall horse-power, it only takes 30 minutes to install.

How often do you check/change a catch can? say, in 4000 miles of driving...worse in stop and go or highway?
|
It depends on how well the rings seated during break in as to how much oil blow by you will get.
now with that in mind I drain my RX catch can about every 3000 miles. I only get about a teaspoon full. your results may vary. |
Elite & Rx in my opinion are the best,I have them both. Checking your oil normal-if you see a drop in level check catch can. I check mine often cause of the way I drive. But always check when you change oil & empty it. The Rx from JDPmotorsports is $139 Painted the color of the car.

The easy way to drain a bit of oil is to change the filter and don't pre fill it. That will get almost a quart out.
