Got a quick question. How do I check if I've put in too much oil? |

![]() You should be able to tell via the dipstick.
There is an indicator on the dipstick (min. and max.). |

![]() Yeah look at the dipstick. Most of them if it's over the crosshatched part, it's too much

![]() When you pull the dipstick, the oil sometimes will be very foamy. This is an indication that it is over filled. Same goes for auto transmissions.
