Yaris Oil Change DIY - Toyota Yaris Forums

Oops, I put in too much oil than I should have...I think, reading the damn dipstick, as easy as it sounds, is a pain because one side has the oil at the full level and the other side has it way above the full level. It's pretty misleading so I don't know if I over filled it or not.

Are there any real consequences (drop in MPG, bad for the engine?) from this or will it be fine?

It should be fine as long as I don't get any checking engine lights or oil pressure lights coming on right?

Still within the dots but towards the higher end? Can you take a pic?

On one side it's all the way to the dot marking full, and on the other side it's way beyond the full dot.

I'll try taking a picture tomorrow so you can actually see.
