Usually, if the EO is overfilled, it is always the fault of the mechanic. But there are rare case of overfilled EO by the driver ........ heeee I tell the mechanic to slightly underfill the EO so that I can add the engine treatment later. And after add the ET, still have not reach full mark. Then I tried to add 'abit' and cause the overfill. So, here is how to solve an overfill problem. What you need : 4m of PVC Pipe used in Fish tank air pump ($1.60). Remember PVC type, try not to used silicone type. As contamination to EO with silicone can kill the O2 sensor. Cut to your desired length. 1 empty & dry Fanta Cherry 1.5L bottle - Not even a drop of water vapour. What to do : a) Remove the EO dip stick. b) Poke in the PVC pipe. c) Start sucking - Try to avoid having EO in your mouth :Carcinogenic Material (WILL GET CANCER !!) It is a very very slow process, 500mL/hour. So, arm your car alarm, get back and have a nap and come back 1 hour later ...... heeeee Protect the Environment Statement a) Leave the bottle with your mechanic. FREE b) Keep until next oil change - add this little bottle of EO before new pour. c) Used for top up EO level due to oil consumption DO NOT DISPOSE IN RUBBISH DUMP !! Attachments:

I think about 500~600cc . 287cc engine treatment + 300cc EO. FC horrific ....... from 9+ to 8+ km/L Now back to 9.2km/L. Ya ...... a bit overfill is OK laaa......if not for the engine treatment, I would have left it alone..... how much more did you overfilled bro? unless a lot else i will just leave it.. same for my coolant, Psteering , brake, i will ask the WS to fill up above the full indicator.. slightly lah..

Aiyo, wrong thread ....... Happy New Year !!!! Huat ah !!! Should be about 4 over litres ..... ba.... Actually, if you ATF oil level is correct, the oil is clear (never mind if it is no longer red) then you need not change. Most important no burnt carbon smell..... I 80kkm still have not changed....... anyone here know capacity for ATF? going to change mine. txs in advance

To be precise should be 3.7L, but it is ok to go all the way to 4L. And remember must use ATF SPIII (SP 3) standard ATF.
