Yes this will mess it up, it's just as bad as having not enough oil in, get it drained mate ASAP. |

Better out than in
Had a Nova once (many moons ago), didn't know much about cars then, had Kwik Fit, do an oil change as i was driving to germany, the week after, they put too much oil in, when i got there a few days later the Head Gasket was pissing with oil, had to scrap it after that

I have about an extra half inch on my dipstick and that causes no problems but a whole litre is rather alot.

aye the main cause of destruction by overfill of oil is any weak seals etc will start leaking oil etc...in some cases ya may get away with it, but if the seals in a pita place then changing them because even more of a pain |
