Too much oil?
I am curious what actually happens if you have, say an extra 1/4 - 1/2 a quart of oil to an engine above what is suppose to be in there... what kind of issues would one see....
I personally haven't done it I was topping off my oil the other day at the gas station and the thought hit me... what would happen? |
Too much oil in a rotary is not as mechanically detrimental as it is a piston engine, however it can still backup into your intake and foul your MAF, leading to poor performance. Many install an oil catch can as a safeguard.

An oil catch? Forgive my ignorance or stupidity, you guys decide, but what is it, how much do they cost, easy to install? I can gather what it does by the name but a bit more specific maybe?

Thanks for putting up with my lack of knowledge guys.

Worst case scenario, oil goes into air filter, through accordion tube and you might end up with stuck SSV valve if memory serves me right

No worries; none of us were born knowing this stuff.
