Resolved accidental over oiled

[wolf alchemy]

So a week ago my OEM oil drain tube burst and I have no idea when. But it happened within a ten mile drive. So I recently installed a 10 an oil drain braided line. I now seeing it feel its too big for my stock turbo. Is it, and I had no idea how much oil I had left. The dipstic said none. So I added four quarts of oil and way over filled it. It looked like this

Minimumis first mark. Dash is oil. So if you understand that....is that a bad amount of oil since it came out my exhaust pipe? Plus the oil was from the 1990s. But I didn't find anywhere that oil does expire, just kinda separates sometimes so I shook the crap out of both bottles before adding them. Any helpful insight would be amazingly appreciated.

What is the right thing to do?




Do it.

First off, no way a drain can be to large for any turbo. Second, this is a great time to change your oil. Drain, replace filter, and refill to proper level.

The oil is brand new unopened. Its just it was made in 1990s. Should I drain it out? Like I said I never found anywhere that oil expires. Just separates. So I shook them. Alot[DOUBLEPOST=1408217122][/DOUBLEPOST]

I already drained it to proper level. I asked how bad overfilling is.

Right above the pool of oil in the oil pan rotates a crankshaft. When submerged in oil, the crankshaft acts as whip. Foamy oil is not as good as regular oil, think of oil related failures.

So since I drove less than a mile then drained it to regular level. Itl be fine after a long sit. Or should I dive it ten miles? My dad wants to go to town and I wanna drive it. Its been out of commission for a month and I've missed shifting gears

Oil and a filter is cheap... a rebuild is not... I would just change the oil with some synthetic and a good filter...

Get some good synthetic oil in it, and a good oil filter...
a good oil filter IMHO means anything but the Fram and the o'rielys microguard brands...but thats just from my findings cutting them open. I like the bosch, wix, stp, mobile 1 and the K&N are the same filter, so which ever happens to be cheaper.

Just remember: 4.5qt with filter is where you want to be. But, you can easily get away with a gallon and just add the quart when you get down below the add mark.

NAPA 1381 Gold is the filter to use - made by WIX.

Start over or drain a little and re-check
