Asif Hussain Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I had a same situation few days back. Removed excess oil from dipstick hole using suction hose as mentioned by @Gaurav. You will find this oil suction pump in few garages or at petrol stations where oil change is done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael sammy Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Just a quick update, fixed my oil level. I went back to the same garage to explain the problem and they have took out the extra oil it was almost 500 to 750ml What annoyed me no apology nor any warning to the mechanic that done the mistake, life keeps going and it's our responsibility to take care of our car lesson learned not to trust any garage even for a simple job as oil change. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael sammy Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 I just noticed that i have a partial photo of the bottle were they kept the extra oil. Is that color of the oil is normal after 50km drive? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadow79 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Don't worry about the 5 or 10 as that temperature you won't experience here in uae but if the end number be 40 then it would be much better as 40 the viscosity will be good till ambient temperature of 50 plus ℃ And I guess that oil has a light brown tint like light caramel...

Ishould use 40 Even if its not fully synthetic?

Srikumar Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 @Michael sammyyou can check in Castrol. They have it in full synthetic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow79 Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 You can find that grade oil in both semi and full synthetic...just try to stick to same brand as different brand use different chemical compositions which can mess with the seals and gaskits in the long run...if you planning to keep the car long time... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
