1. Stop driving immediately. Continuing to drive with overfilled oil can cause serious damage to your engine.
2. Check your oil level. Use the dipstick to check the oil level and make sure it's not above the "full" mark.
3. Drain the excess oil. If the oil level is above the "full" mark, you'll need to drain the excess oil. You can do this by removing the oil drain plug and allowing the oil to drain out. Be sure to replace the oil drain plug when you're finished.
4. Add the correct amount of oil. Once you've drained the excess oil, you'll need to add the correct amount of oil. Use the manufacturer's recommended oil type and weight.
5. Check for leaks. After you've added the correct amount of oil, check for leaks. Make sure the oil drain plug is properly tightened and that there are no leaks around the oil filter.
6. Drive your car and monitor the oil level. After you've corrected the oil level, drive your car for a short distance and then check the oil level again. Make sure it's still at the correct level.
If you're not comfortable draining the excess oil yourself, you can take your car to a mechanic to have it done.
Overfilling your oil can be a serious problem, but it can be corrected if you take action quickly. By following these steps, you can help protect your engine from damage.
