Hi guys,

 

I write this topic to tell you if 4 litre oil are dangerous for my Focus 1.5 TDCI 2015 120 hp. I have do the service car alone at home but when i put in the oil (Castrol 0w30 ACEA c2, original Ford), for a distraction i have put 4 lt oil instead of 3,8 lt as tell the manual (with filter). The level oil is over Max but i have use the car for 600 km and it goes great. Now have buy wherever a pump to reduce the oil extra because i don't want do damage.

What can tell me about it ? It's really dangerous for the engine ?

Thanks so much!

    That small amount over is unlikely to cause any problem. I wouldn't worry about it.

    If you have driven 600 km, then, if it was going to cause harm, it would already done it.

    Thank you so much!

    Anyway, a few hours ago, I took out the excess oil and put it in an empty 0.5 liter bottle. I asked the same question in another forum and the answer is that you have to take out the excess oil because it is dangerous for the engine.

    I did it and looking at the bottle I thought that there was a ridiculous amount of extra oil...

    After 600 km I think the same as you but I don't like the gamble 😄
