Spoke to garage he says it will be fine but wanna check with the pros =) overfilled my oil was below min other day so filled up 250ml to just above min then got my top up oil today (same stuff had to wait for opie to deliver) filled it up about 600ml and on the dipstick it's registering as 3 maybe 4mm over max... as I say refused to start engine up just in case and rang my usual garage asked him he said it will be fine at that as it's burning a little anyway.

He then double checked with someone else for me who also said it will be alright.. its not way over just a few mm but im paranoid so wanna double check it with you guys... also thought these held 4.5l can't believe from below min to above max is under 1l?!

Thanks in advance,

Matthew

I did the same thing a few months ago, I'm convinced the dipstick is biased to make you think you have no oil as I went from a dry dipstick to about 5mm over with 2 litres of oil. I ended up buying a syphon pump from wickes for 30 quid to take about 1 litre back out again. I didn't want to risk it but it's really up to you.
