RE: Overfilled Oil
ahh, yes. ive done this too. fhucking humiliating when you find out you screwed uo changing your oil!
ORIGINAL: lookinforastang
mine was overfilled.
i forgot to drain the second plug (up front) and forgot that its a 302 (4.94L)
ended up putting 5 quarts in
got online and found out theres actually 2 plugs DOH. too late now though.. new oil is already mixed in with some crap oil.
it was reading over the full mark for a couple days
i have a dirt driveway, 1 way lane road right in the city so its not like i can just work on my car whenever i want.
im just going to drain both plugs when i hit 1000 more miles. ive had no problems and all my sensors work (i know they do because i turned the key on, engine off and i had LOW OIL, NO OIL sensors flashing lol)

RE: Overfilled Oil

RE: Overfilled Oil
In regards to your claw thing. Are you saying that you are not able to get FL-1A on without the tool? I just ordered a shorter filter though I would feel better with the normal size.
