Honda sc as well, my honda city was filled with almost all 4litre of engine oil where as it should be 3.6l and left 400ml to be brought home in the bottle.

Sorry for reviving old thread. Have similar issue but not from honda sc. The newbie pour in the whole 4L engine oil into my Honda city as well.
Did u drain it or you let it be? I googled and some said 400ml extra will do no harm

Just 2 weeks ago, my Avanza was filled with 4L instead of the usual 3.5L something.
Dipstick exceed MAX level mark by about 12 mm.
So far so good and I don't think it is an issue.
I will see.

Mine exceed max less than 1cm. Hopefully it’s ok.
Got shocked when the mechanic returned me almost empty bottle of 4L engine oil

Did you check it when the engine is cold?

Ya both cold and warm.
Just over the max line around 0.5cm

Don't worry too much about using 4 litre of engine oil although specifications mentioned it should be 3.6 litre.

I did an oil change myself on Honda City and to my suprise, I nearly poured all 4 litre of engine oil to get to the dipstick's topmark.

Probably had only about 50-100ml remaining in the bottle.

So rest assured 4 litre is fine.

Hopefully, don’t want any problem with my engine. So far it looks normal

If your engine is new and good condition usually no issue, the only side effects is might feel heavier or lazy to pick up due to more oil in the engine. If engine condition is not good, higher chance of oil leaking might encounter around oil pan/sump side area due to higher oil level.

Don’t see any leaking so far. Touchwood hopefully will not.
Read around and they said a lil bit over the top is still ok
