[QUOTE="backfill, post: 864716, member: 21385"] A friend stopped by my house one day and asked how much oil goes in a car. Bill is not mechanically inclined but had decided to change the oil a few days before in his Honda Civic. He had filled it up so that he could see the oil, but wasn't sure where to stop. Since the filler cap is in the top of the rocker cover, he had added extra gallons of oil to the engine. We drained all the oil and started fresh. I explained that he should only add enough oil so that it was at the top mark on the dipstick. Bill said that explained why he was blowing blue smoke out of his tail pipe. I am surprised that he didn't blow every gasket in the engine, but the care ran fine for years afterwards. [/QUOTE]
