andrewd Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 When I bought my 300Tdi a few weeks ago I found that the garage I'd bought it from had overfilled the engine oil by about half a litre. As soon as I found out I drained out the extra but it probably did a couple of hundred miles before I noticed. Could this have caused any damage? Thanks.

ThreeSheds Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 No guarantees, but I would be highly surprised if 1/2 a litre over caused any problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 1/2 litre over the max will have no effect on your engine. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
