What should you do if you put too much oil in the engine and smoke is coming from the exhaust?

Too Much Oil in Engine

Here are suggestions from FAQ Farmers:

  • Let some of the oil out from the pan and remeasure it and add enough oil to get it to the FULL position on the oil dip stick. Clean the dip stick with a clean rag before you insert it and measure it twice making sure that it is inserted corrctly.

  • Drain your oil. if you are useing a lot of oil( a quart a week ). put in some 10-40 oil. if you dont use oil. put in 4 qaurts 10-30. let it sit and then check your dip stick(make sure it goes all the way in!) if you need more oil add a quart. run for a while -- let the engine sit for ten minutes -- check oil again . good luck .
