- in fact anywhere between the low and max line is absolutely fine. anything above the max line is NOT. There is a reason why the max line is there. It is not to be overshot by 1cm or even 1mm. Max line means max. Never exceed it. in fact i prefer my engine to be half filled rather than max filled. why? much lighter engine.... really makes a lot of difference.
-yes u are right. more less that kinda scenario....
For over 10 years driving owning couple cars and driving few others.... i always have problems with workshop mechs OVERFILLING the engine oil. It goes from bawah pokok mechs till the soo called "pros" in Service Centres.
My ex MyVi....... always overfilled. Screw them all the time.
Now my Persona. Same thing. Some more telling me in the face that CAMPRO NEEDS 4L of engine oil SHIT?!
Last service i went it goes like this:-
Mech: draining the oil...
Me: eh, later dun pour all the 4L oil into the engine. Leave out some.... *me showing how much to leave out
Mech: Oh okay.
Me: Observing....
Mech: Time for refilling...and started pouring the oil
Me: Eh remember ah dun overfill. Just leave this much out....*me showing it again how much to leave out by hand
Mech: But Campro engines need all 4L engine oil.....continues pouring......
Me: eh please.... dun gimme that nonsense ok.... who said? It is always OVERFILLED. That i have to go to the trouble of getting it drained the next morning.
Mech: Mb u bought the 5L pack?
Me: Look.... Campro does not need 4L of engine oil OKAY. It is stated in the book and the last time one of u did that it caused me having to drain it out the next day. And it was way over the max line on the dip stick when checked early morning.
Mech: Ok ok.... puts down the bottle.... check dipstick.... noticed that its not max level yet.
Me: Its ok... i will refill it later if not enough. I know what i am doing.
Mech: Checks again and started engine letting it idle for while before shut down. Rechecks the level....
Me: Keeping a sharp eye....
Mech: Reaches the bottle again.... and started to pour....
Me: eh enough i said.... (after shown the level on the dipstick)....
Mech: not enough later ur engine jam.......continues pouring.....
Me: Look man, i said enough is enough ok! ENOUGH!!!!!!! *me snatching the bottle away from him
Mech: Ok ok.... then finish up everything else before passing the keys to me........
What a f***ing idiot....... CAMPRO needs whole bottle of 4 liters of engine oil BULLSHIT.
