Cool I got a question about the level of oil in a car?

WASSUP MA ****AS!!!

I GOT A HONDA ACCORD TOO! Its not wHat i wanted but DANG ITim gonna trick tha POOP out of it. YA SON!!

2001 Honda Accord EX 5-Speed Manual V-TECPOE!!!

Got it with some crappy mods already on it and they are...

A Cold Air Intake that has no logo. AT&T! And a $20 SPECTRE filter. (I wanna slap the POOPY the dude who had this car b4me!)

Some Headers but idk what brand or anything but i bet there like $50bucks.

The exhaust system is ???? the nicest thing modded on it. That junk loud as HECK. But it got a TSUDO on the end and I researched them and guess what they are POOPY. I think. someone tell me if its good or one better cause i wanna get the best of the best for my car. YA DIGG!!

drain it down to the correct level. saving $10 isn't worth any damage to the engine.

why was it low? it shouldn't be using or leaking anything.

Welcome to the forums. Let's keep the polls polite and kleen for the kiddies please.

You don't have to drain it all. Just loosen the drain plug & hold it against the opening so it runs out slowly. Then screw it back in & re-check the dipstick.

The distance between the min & max marks is about 1 quart. That'll help you judge how much to drain out.

Too much oil in a crank case can have several effects on the engine.
two things I think of off the top of my head would be.. Aerated engine oil and oil traveling where only vapors should be in the PCV system.

Fixing the level is a good idea.
