On my 94 Merc Sable 3.8L, I accidently
overfilled the crankcase. Dipstick is about
3/8 inch above the full mark.The crosshatch
area itself is about 3/4 inch long on the stick.
I could swear I added 4.5 qts when new filter
and oil was replaced but since I was filling from partially filled gallon containers I may have added more oil than needed. Should I drain some
out or would a slight overfill matter. Might be
1/4 to 1/2 QT overfilled. Thanks
