i been reading a lot of your posts lately, You know what not everyone is perfect. hell your not. So why not loose your damn attitude and be nice to people for a change.

He had a good question maybe he has never had an issue before you where not born and knew everything about mechanic's

Bottom line: learn to be F-ING nice!!!

Done venting...

to answer the question i would say if u added 5 qts add another half qt and run it for a bit and see if it goes down.....

 

I was told that it would just blow oil out on the driveway if it was over full. I dont know if this is true or not but I am never to worried about overfilling it. 4.0s take 6 quarts and can run fine on 5. It is a lubricant and its not like you dumped glue into the engine instead so you should be fine.

 

i dont know if you have the hanes repair manual, but if you dont go grab it, its really helpful for your maintanance-

 

sorry guys forgot to mention mines a 2.5, and yes it was a serious question. ive never filled a vehicles oil over the full level so i had no prior knowledge or experience on this issue....thanks for the replys

ohh, forgot to put this in for anyone that searches and finds this thread, the 2.5 4 banger uses somewhere between 4 and 4 1/2 quarts of oil (4.25)

 

plan on getting one, but all my high school budget is stretched out and the next grand i make is already spent

 

Sorry about the dick's on here that bother you... welcome to CF man. A little over the line on oil is ok but I would not go to much over. Do the filter trick that another member said to do. It works. Welcome to owning jeeps and spending money to fix it... ahh flat broke and having fun!

 

Well its all making sense now. haha

 

tuff man aren't ya

 

glad this guy got the answers he needed!

 

Alright cool....Don't know if my post sounded rude, but I didn't mean too. Just heard very bad experience with those "quick lube" place.

 

AHH I was waiting for someone to say this...X2...Tj

 

Don't want to beat this to death but did you mean the full line or the fill line, if you mean the fill line as stated a 1/2" puts you between the marks

 

full line, it wasnt that im inexperienced in oil changing and all that i asked, it was more because i had never come across this before.

and yeah, i may be broke now but when i get that next paycheck ill be the same way in a week

 

not to steal the threat, but this most recent time i had my oil changed they overfilled it by 1/2 an inch plus on the dipstick and I've developed a small oil leak. Will this stop if i drain it to the proper level? I had an leaked valve cover and had that replaced and it stopped...but then i went and got my oil changed and it started leaking again

 

if it's smoking when you start up you could have possibly blown a valve seal, but if it just leaks from valvecover because of an overfill, it was probably caused by the increased pressure in your crankcase. check your valvecover breathers. are they blowing oil?
