Oil overfill. Drained oil by removing the plug...?
But still getting a high level reading on dipstick. [good inch and a half above high mark]
What can be causing this? I'm on as level ground as I can. My truck hasn't moved since yesterday morning so i'm sure there's still oil in the sump.
Thanks for anyones help.Oil overfill. Drained oil by removing the plug...?
How much oil did you drain, are you sure you drained enough?Oil overfill. Drained oil by removing the plug...?
You must drain more oil.
Due to the dipstick tube the oil won't read above 1-2 inches above full.
Drain the oil until it is on the full mark.
What caused the over fill?
Did you add too much?
The average pickup holds only four to five quarts or litres.
If it starts getting fuller on it's own, without you adding any, you have dilution of the oil, and this means trouble.
This is a separate issue.
OK To Start With; Truck Type? Year %26amp; Mileage? Engine %26amp; Size?
Sounds like you need to Remove the Oil Pan and Scrap it Out, Pan Sounds like it's Full of Slug! You Have the Correct Dipstick Right? After you Clean Out the Oil Pan you need to Flush the Engine to Clean the Oil Gallies!
If the truck has been sitting for some time? Do a Complete Maintance Service!
It seems someone is sneeking oil into your vehicle. Possibly highly trained, midget-ninjas. ( I've had this problem myself a time or two. ) If I were you I would buy a ninja costume, and climb on the roof. Wait for them to show up and pull out a pair of nun-chucks. ( Or try windmilling on them, Bruce-Lee style, that works for me. )
inch and a half could be a quart and half over. how much did you put in?? have you started car then checked the oil level?????
The only safe fix is to drain out ALL the oil, then put back the amount the manufacturer tells you it should hold. If you don't know, I'd suggest starting at 4 quarts (or litres - it's near enough), then start checking between each extra quart you add. It'll probably be somewhere around 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 quarts in total.
Good luck!

Ok i drain the oil rite away should i change the plugs and clean the throttel body?
here is a general check list. OIL every 2000-3000 Spark plugs and wires(cap and rotor if it has them) every 30000 throttle body cleaning every 50000, transmission auto every 50000 manual every 30000, Grease if applicable all front end components and on some vehicles rear end components every 3000-5000Ok i drain the oil rite away should i change the plugs and clean the throttel body?
Sounds like a good planOk i drain the oil rite away should i change the plugs and clean the throttel body?
Yes
That would be a good idea
Rule of thumb plugs are good for 20,000 miles,unless there is engine problems,for instance,if you have a bad cylinder,as far as the throttle body goes yeah might as well especilay if you live in a dusty place,you know dirt roads and what not.I recomend going with a high performance plugs,and wires i buy all my stuff here,for my Vette and my 67 Olds

The drain plug fell out of my car 2 months after the oil change and blew the engine. Now what?
I called Mazda because the car is only 7 months old. They said since Jiffy lube changed the oil last they were responsible. I contacted Jiffy lube and they told me they did not feel responsible due to the fact that this usually happens in the first 500 miles. I had 4000 miles on my car but it was only 2 months after the oil change. We are barely making ends meet now and we have a baby... how am I going to afford a lawyer? The reason I bought a new car was so I didn't have to worry about any of this. Please help!! I don't know what to do next..The drain plug fell out of my car 2 months after the oil change and blew the engine. Now what?
I can't believe you didn't see an oil leak under the car in 2 months! Don't you ever check the oil, LIKE IT TELLS YOU IN THE OWNERS MANUAL?? Good luck in court cause they';re gonna ask the same questions.The drain plug fell out of my car 2 months after the oil change and blew the engine. Now what?
only thing to do is take jiffy lube to court lawyers usually take a percentage of the winnings. thats why you go to a dealership to get oil changed and not jiffy lube. you want 18 yr old kids with no experience working on your new car, or factory trained techs that are trained specifically for your vehcile, and if that happened they would just warranty engine and have mazda pay for it
In two months time you should have seen some oil on the ground where you park. Did you ever check your oil in 4000 miles? Did the warning light come on? Did you stop driving it? It sucks that it happened, but I don't think you are going to win.
Jiffy will say that they recommend you change your oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles. WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST.
You may check and see if Mazda has a issue with oil plugs on your model.
Two months later it wasn't Jiffy Lube's fault. If the drain plug came out from being loose and you never noticed any oil leaks, you are the one that neglected your car.
Sounds like you need a major engine rebuild or a replacement. You know that red idiot light on the dash that says OIL or Check Engine? That's a clue you don't have any motor oil in it. That means STOP DRIVING NOW DUMMY!!!
Of course any lawyer will take the case to court just to take your money. He gets paid either way if he wins or loses.
I'm sure Jiffy Lube lawyers would have a field day in court with you, then counter sue for attorney fees and court costs.
I'm going to ask a stupid question....
How many watts is your stereo amp?
And how high do you turn up your sound that you are distracted and don't hear the engine making unusual noise, the ';check engine'; light lit or other dashboard indications of impending doom.
You the driver are responsible for your oil level. If you drive a car, You the driver are responsible to ensure that water is in the radiator, gas is in the tank, oil is in the engine, trans fluid is in the transmission, windshield washer fluid is in the appropriate place, as well as the brake fluid and power steering fluid and all that. There isn't a single one of those fluids that is magically someone elses problem, they are all your responsiblity as the driver to check as often as necessary to ensure you have a safe driveable vehicle.
Anyway, try suing the gas station the next time you run out of gas. Actually please don't, just take responsibility for what is your problem.
How much damage to the engine do you have really? If you ignored the funny noises and drove it until it seized and cracked the block or something? What a good driver should do is stop and inspect the engine if it is making funny noises, and I'm pretty sure an engine without oil is making some recognizable indication before it full on is blown. But whatever that is, it is likely to be cheaper to buy a new motor than to hire a lawyer. A new motor is only a few thousand eh?

If I'm trying to ';drain all the liquids'; out of an engine, is it as simple as taking off the oil pan plug?
Oil in filter. Water in block. Power steering fluid and freon ( not really in engine).If I'm trying to ';drain all the liquids'; out of an engine, is it as simple as taking off the oil pan plug?
For the oil, I would remove the drain plug and oil filter. Once drained I would put the plug and filter back on to keep dirt out.
You also have the coolant in the engine. There will typically be a drain at the bottom of the radiator. This will get most of the coolant out. There is usually one or more plugs on the engine that will allow additional coolant to be drained. On a V8, there will typically be two drain plugs, one on each side. On an I4, there will usually be only one drain plug on the engine.
The drain plugs on the engine are typically located low, several inches above the oil pan.If I'm trying to ';drain all the liquids'; out of an engine, is it as simple as taking off the oil pan plug?
No, all that will do is remove the oil. You will still have coolant in the cooling system, transmission fluid in the transmission, power steering fluid in the power steering, and brake fluid in the brake lines. That of course is the entire vehicle. If you are just looking at the engine alone, oil and coolant.
If by ';All the Liquids'; you are only referring to oil. If you want coolant you will have to open the radiator drain or remove the lower radiator hose.
sounds like you are going to scrap a vehicle. that includes the fuel tank, oil, filter, power steering, brake fluid,coolant, and any other fluids you can think of.

82 honda atc: 2 drain plugs. one is for oil but what is the other one for?
also how do you fill the second one?82 honda atc: 2 drain plugs. one is for oil but what is the other one for?
Not knowing what '82 Honda ATC you have,,I can only guess.
If it happened to be a 110cc or a 70cc,,,
I'd guess that it wasn't a drain plug at all,,,
but rather a Plug for the Cam Chain tensioner which LOOKS a lot like a Drain Plug.
On those particular engines the thing is positioned on far left of crankcase,,just behind crankshaft centerline.
And it screws in at an angle.82 honda atc: 2 drain plugs. one is for oil but what is the other one for?
chances are the second drain plug is also for oil, the inside of the case is baffled, you pull both plugs to drain all the oil and only fill the crank case with the filler hole, there isn't a special filler, hope this helps :)
it could be for gearbox oil or your water for your radiator
I already answered this question. Why are you asking it again?
The only place on that machine to add fluid, is the dipstick hole - 4 stroke motor oil.
No other type of fluid is needed on that machine and there is no place to add any!
(unless you consider air a fluid - that goes in the tires LOL)
The round plug with the slot in it, that is pointing forward, is just an inspection hole.
Don't put anything in that hole - it should be completely dry.

Is a sump plug the 1 u take out under the engine to drain the oil?
As everyone else says, Yes it is.
I would advise running the engine for a minute or two before draining the oil as it warms it up and will drain easier.
Is a sump plug the 1 u take out under the engine to drain the oil?
Hi
Yes it is, it's in what looks like a tin bowl, don't take the plug out until you've got a new copper washer for the plug and what ever you do don't over tighten it.
Ray. West York's. U.K.Is a sump plug the 1 u take out under the engine to drain the oil?
Yep thats correct. just remember if you do it yourself, your probably get oil over ya and its worth putting a new sump plug in once drained, there so cheap and your know your get a good seal when tighting it back up.
yes the term oil sump plug and oil pan plug are usually describing the same thing in the automotive industry
yes, a messy job! sometimes called a sump bung as well. if you r doing an oil change, dont forget to fo the filter as well otherwise it would be a waste of time
Yes, just make sure it is under the engine. This is the ';BOLT'; to drain the oil from the engine.
'BRILLIANT'!!!!
yep it is as the first person said make sure you put it back on or your oil will run straight out again
Yup, just be careful to put it back on before pour new oil into the engine......thats happened before :-(
yep! the 1 under the oil pan is what you take out.
That is correct
禄禄禄
yES ITS right down at the bottom toward the front normally...
yes it is
