[QUOTE="rpmnut, post: 504256, member: 20757"] Get the excess oil drained out as soon as possible. Having the oil level too high will cause loss of power (as the crankshaft will be "swimming" in oil), oil degradation (as the crankshaft churns the oil, foams it and breaks it down) and in the long term, may cause damage by way of hydraulic stresses on parts that wasn't designed to be dipped in oil and these end up sloshing at high speed through a thick bath of engine oil. Any reputable workshop would have an engine oil suction machine. Try BM World in Desa Tun Razak. That's where I send my car. [/QUOTE]
