Q
is it ok to overfill engine oil
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
No, overfilling engine oil can cause various problems like oil leaks, excessive smoke, engine damage, or even a possible explosion. If the oil level is significantly higher than it should be, it can cause the crankshaft to come into contact with the oil, which can froth the oil similar to what could happen with a latte machine. This frothy, aerated oil can cause a drop in oil pressure potentially damaging your engine.
Potentially, oil seals and gaskets can be damaged causing oil to leak outside the engine. Additionally, the catalytic converter could be irreparably damaged. So, it's always best to maintain proper oil levels in your vehicle's engine as per the manufacturer's directions.
