If its only a small amount i wouldn't worry about it as the engine will use it. However if you over fill often it may cause problems with your ssv because of sucking oil up and into the intake. You could do yourself a favor and install a catch can to avoid that problem completely.

You will be fine if you only a little bit over the full mark. How far over the full mark are you?

I used to run 1 qt over for autox and never had any issue.

BTW this area is supposed to be for 2009+ RX-8 models
