How come all these mechanics never listen?One comment I gathered from a search in the web : "normally if u over fill any engine the main concern is oil foaming or aeration from the bottom of the piston or rotating assembly dipping down and constantly frothing up the oil. Normally it causes oil consumption and engine depoists as it is easier to bypass the rings and splash onto the cylinder walls."Wondering whether the smoke would stop once the extra oil are burned off?:smokin:</blockquote>
