Hi!
Haven't been here for a while... At 51K I have only replaced the tires and battery. No complaints.
A neighbourhood service station with a good reputation put an extra
0.4 -0.5 quarts into it. (The local Subie dealership is bad; - they got pissed when they saw a U-Haul hitch on it, so they where out of the question.)What happens then? Stupid me didn't check and correct it for about two hundred miles...
However, a couple of weeks ago the "check engine" light came on the local O'Reilly reset it. *Missfire". Soon it came back on 8-(((
The sons of the woman next door are into cars: - one is a mech at a large Honda dealership.
I asked them to replace the plugs and wires. The left side, facing the car from front, had oil in the plug-holes (in lack of a better word).
One of the plugs on that side looked as if it had fallen down and had a lot smaller gap. Also, that plug's spacer was 1/8 of an inch from being all the way seated, and had burned oil between the spacer and plug...
My gasmilage was down, but I fugured it was the 10% ethanol and much city driving.
I reset the computer as adviced here whan I asked about the driver profile. Now it drives like a totally different car! Super!
Questions: What harm could the overfilled oil do?
What harm could the only partially spark/power have caused -if any?
