So after seeing that my engine had a standing rear main leak I decided to investigate. Surprise! What I thought was a V8 5.2 Litre that took 4.7 litres of oil ended up being a V6 3.9 Litre with a 3.9 Litre oil capacity engine.
> mfw It's been being overfilled for years by previous unaware owner causing a rear main leak.
What the fuck.. What are the possible damages that could have occoured from running a quart more of oil for 50k Kilometers?
>>
Overfilling can cause sloshing, foaming, more prone to sludge, but a workhorse engine like the 3.9 I doubt itll do much to it.

how long does it take you to realize that you have 6 cylinders instead of 8?
>>
>>16121484
2 Oil changes... I was fucking baffled
>>
>>16121459
How to you even confuse a 6 for a 8 in the first place? OP confirmed for never having heard a V8 in his life
>>
>>16121484
The previous owner thought it was a V8 and did all his oil changes at Mr. Lube and didn't ask questions as to why oil was covering the bottom of his vehicle. I guess when they scan the VIN at lube it comes up as a V8 or something.. Maybe it got engine swapped or something?

I don't understand how you confuse a v6 with a v8.
>>
>>16121459
If you don't even know what engine your car has you shouldn't be changing the oil in it.
>>
>>16121459
How could this happen?
>>
> dodge driver
That's how
>>
>>16121459
Regardless .8 quarts of oil shouldn't be enough to cause seals to blow out.
Most engines can take a few extra quarts.
>>
>>16121507
quick lube will break the tip of your dipstick off and then charge you for the drainage and replacement of fluid to get it out
>>
>>16122497
fucking this. Even different variants of the same engine may have different oil capacities.

More oil makes your laptimes slower

Welcome to /o/, where knowing anything about cars is apparantely purely optional.
