I did an oil change. Thought the car took 4.4 quarts but it only takes 3.7 quarts. I poured in slightly under 4 quarts. The engine is a 1.5 in-line turbo (Honda Civic Si). It’s reading past the fill line slightly. How bad is it? Do I need to pour some out? What am I risking? What symptoms should I be looking for?

    Generally a great idea. On this particular motor you’re more likely to find EXTRA volume as it has a known issue of gasoline flowing past the rings and actually increasing the volume of liquid in the crankcase.
