Hi… New here… anyway,
Vehicle: Honda S2000 2.2L (2007)
Oil: Mobil 1 Extended Performance (10W-30)
All,
What is considered an overfill… In regards to engine oil?
-> using more than the recommend amount in the user manual by Honda?
OR
-> the oil lever reading ABOVE the H (high) on the oil dipstick.
5.1 quarts is recommended… but 5.5 quarts never reaches the H level on my dip stick. I have been using 6 quarts at every 5k miles for 30k already. NOTE: I check my oil COLD in the morning.
Currently, I am approx 1 millimeter above the “H” (high) COLD… obviously; I am overfilled… how much am I over filled?
If 5.1 quarts was recommended, and I have 6 quarts in there… am I overfilled by 0.9 quarts?
OR
am I overfilled by “X” amount being over the “H” mark.
Also… at what percentile does oil expand when heated? I drained .5 quarts (middle of dipstick COLD) and when I run the car and check 30 minutes later, I am at the “H” (high) level on the dipstick. Strange…
Thanks in advance all…
