Oil Levels

I just did an oil change but may have put 12-13 Liters instead of 10-11 Liters. will this damage the truck ? should I drain some oil or leave it be ? I do 1000 - 2500 km a week. 2001 dodge 2500 diesel 5 speed 2wd

Re:Oil Levels

if it was me i would drain some. toomuch oil causes foaming and the result is improper oil flow and other stuff that i am not completely sure about. i was told not to overfill any engine

Re:Oil Levels

AS compared to a gas engine holding 4 quarts of oil, you have "overfilled" a trivial pint or so - hardly enough to get excited about...

Re:Oil Levels

At worst it will be blown out into the overflow bottle. Depending on how full it is, you might have oil dripping out of it and on the ground/front of motor.
