I put 5 qt of engine oil in my mini but it suppose to put only 4.5 qt.
Do i need to take it out? Or it would be okay only 1/2 qt.

 

If it was my car I would take it out. Have you checked the oil level on the dipstick to see how things look?

 

If going for some track or dyno time, many have suggested to add the extra half quart. That tells me it can't be a bad thing to have a little bit over.

 

Suck it out.!!!

 

How to suck it out???

 

For mine, I bought 1/4" tygon tubing from a bigbox hardware store and a siphon bulb from and autostore (the tube that came with the bulb was too large diameter to thread down the dipstick tube). It worked, but after all was said and done, it was not worth it. If it bothers you, do it. Realistically, 1/2 a quart is not going to hurt anything.

As stated, check the dip stick to see overfilled it really is. Might not be the far above full. 1/2 quart should not be a problem. In my opinion, not worth sucking oil out. If it really bothers you just drain a little out from the drain plug (will be a bit messy but if it helps you sleep better, well worth the mess).

 

You'll be fine, as long as it's only a 1/2 quart.

 

I was check dipstick, the oil level is above the top mark about 1/2 inch. Hmm.. It's the world hardest dipstick to read. It need bright day light with paper towel.

Since it has no any bad sign. I think it should be Okay too to leave it 5 qt in oil pan. It's properly common mistake for many people (like me.)

 

on any other car y'd risk blowing a crankcase seal by overfilling the oil by that much. I would try to drain some out (messy yeah), recheck, and refill.

and check MossMini, MINIMania, etc for a/m R56 dipsticks that are a LOT easier to read. I have one on mine, and it's soooo much less hassle.

 

In a jetta 1/2 qt kills the milage

 

Why risk it, take it out. What do you think the dealer will say when something happens to your engine and you want warranty work?

 

Thanks for all guys, I decided to suck it out 1/2 qt. It was cheap insurance for engine. Now Oil level just in top place of dipstick.
