[SPEEDCORE]

i filled the oil all the way to the top?

Explain exactly what you mean by all the way to the top.....

[Mrgigolo]

All the way to the lid... Adrian from toda told me thats how you do it

[m3ntAL_l2]

sorry to inform u but u proboly ***d it mate. go over to ur friends house now and kik him in the head

[Mrgigolo]

ARE YOU SERIOUS! I got no insurance and when i took the car out he said it wont have any warranty!!!! WHAT DO I DO!!!!

[dc2dc2dc2]

what is wrong with you...who puts oil all the way to the top.

ahahahahahaha.....please take a photo of your dip stick...i'd love to see what it looks like.

[m3ntAL_l2]

sell ur car to sum nub and go buy another one

[destrukshn]

**** me, how many litres did you pour in?!!!
all the way to the lid?
you shouldn't even get close to filling up to the lid, at all.
it's gonna be great fun now.

[Mrgigolo]

**** man... I didnt even know.. Toda told me to do it and now its ****ed... Guess ill sell it for about 25k... It shoulds like a good price for a new intergra type r shape

[destrukshn]

just drain the oil, completely, pour 4 - 5 litres in, after it's been completely drained, make sure that coils are connected.
then try start your car again

I'm sure Toda wouldnt say something that is that way off...
I think you misinterpreting what he said is the more likely cause for this problem.

Follow destrukshn's advise and see how you go.

[destrukshn]

plus, did you get the right plugs?
are you sure they're in tight?

[Q_ball]

No more stupid remarks/spam posts please!

Wouldn't his car work fine after he drains all the oil and puts in 4-5ltrs as JT recomended ? Or has he caused long term & short term damage to his engine already ?

well the car hasn't started.
lol.
i'm sure it shouldn't cause too much damage if any, if he filled it up that much.
as long as he drains it NOW, and make sure the plugs are correct and installed properly, it should be okay.

[TheSaint]

has it been started? driven much?

drain the oil, goto honda and buy 5 litres of FEO oil and put about 4litres + a little bit in (check your car manual for specifically correct amount)

i did this wen i did my 1st oil change, didnt start the car so i juss drained it all and started again, wasted about 30$ worth of good FEO but learnt my lesson

also when someone says fill it right up with oil they mean on the dip stick not the motor, for example most hondas up to the second dot on the dipstick

good luck to you + keep us posted on what happens

oh and vtec kiks in at about 5900rpm, make sure u drive the car for at least 5min 1st and that the temp guage is at about half way, if not it will be shit and its bad for your motor, if it is warm than it should howl like a banshee =)

[SHIFTY]

hey dude... dont worry what every1 saying they all being dickheads...


just drain the oil... put sump plug back on (not 2 tight.. dont wona thread ur sump)

fill up with oil 2 the specified amount (will say in owners manual)

check dipstick...

also since u have overfilled ur car with oil... check that ur spark plugs arnt wet... if they are just give em a wipe down with a rag....

good luck dude :)

Its just part of the learning process... learn through ur mistakes :)

:thumbsup:

[shadou]

oh LOL all the way to the lid?????????? Drain it all out asap get it towed to a mechanics and get them to do it right, Don't ever touch anything under the hood again lol. If you couldn't get the oil right chances are you might have ****ed the plugs as well I wouldn't dare start it until someone with some experience takes a look at it.

lol.

[TheSaint]

its not that bad im sure most of us did it once wen we wer noobs, main thing is that u take the right steps to get it rectified, like it was mentioned before learn from mistakes... lets get this teg running good again

[shadou]

I am too :D, but if you didn't drain it out already might be a bit of damage from the oil seeping into places it's not suppose to go, like I said get it towed tomorrow with the oil drained and get them to assess any damage done.

[SHIFTY]

nice.
lol.

Lol dude...

settle, didnt mean it that way.. u are most helpfull person in thread :)

[vippy84]

Lol...
it seems like at least 10 litres of oil to fill the whole engine.. mebbe the pistons cant even move that is why ur car cant start..

good luck ... drain it and leave it till it is fully drained.. then just fill u 4.5 litres. should be sufficient.. wont have any bad effect on your car.. dw..

[Limbo]

just make sure there is not oil in the sparkplug gallies. make sure you clean out the oil from all the areas

[shadou]

really depends how long he had the oil sitting in the engine for now, cos he did fill it all the way to the filler hole:confused:

[destrukshn]

Lol dude...

[TODA AU]

For the record, we never offer advice as to how to change or fill your oil.
Our position is, If you're too retarded to know how to do that, you shouldn't touch your car.

[TODA AU]

I think you misinterpreting what he said is the more likely cause for this problem.
Some people are also full of shit & just make stuff up.
