The question really becomes just how bad is it for a couple mm over the line?
It's mostly based on multiples of 2 and 4. Once ounce is 2 tablespoons, one cup is 8 ounces, 2 times that (16) is a pint, 2 times that is a quart (32 ounces) and 4 times that is a gallon. 13 times that and you have a full GTI.
Ah, I was using the tube for putting the oil in. Cheers.
All proper procedures were followed. Life is great now. Thanks!You were adding oil through a tube inserted in the dipstick tube? Also, how are you checking the oil level? After driving and waiting a few minutes then check on a level surface or some other way?
A bit over the top hash mark won't cause any issues, but a significant amount over could. Adding a pint when things are in the middle likely did not cause overfill. Did you check immediately after adding oil, or did you start the engine and run for a bit? Could be why it read higher if you did the former.
