Engine Oil for Stivo


Vhao

Recommended Posts

Hey people,

This is noob question, but i was wondering if too much engine oil in the sportivo, let alone any car, is it like bad for the engine? u noe how the engine oil stick has measurements on how full or low the oil level is, and i heard the oil should be around the half way level, so yeah..my car has like 1 cm ova the "full" level on the engine oil stick thingy...

btw, when i start my car, it sounds like it chokes for a sec then starts... :(

Thanks, Vhao.

Too much oil is bad for your car, likewise crap oil.

Anyways I'm still a noob, I changed my oil and put quite a lot in. The car seemed to struggle a bit when starting up. I checked my oil level to find that it was over full. So I drained some of it out. The car started up much better and had much better power delivery. Its the way that an engine is designed, too much oil means that it is slowing down your crankshaft IIRC also damage your plugs. I think SR20DET had knife edged crankshafts to minimise drag when rotating.

Check the photo out to see whats happening inside of an engine.

Cheers
