I'd say you're probably alrite, but if you're worried about it you could drain a bit, or siphon it out of the dipstick tube. I once put 6 quarts into a 5 quart engine...didn't have a problem...
How do you siphon it out the dipstick tube? Buy a long tube and use a turkey siphon? :think:Whifflebat said:I'd say you're probably alrite, but if you're worried about it you could drain a bit, or siphon it out of the dipstick tube.

I never have. My boss also has a suburban with 500k (TBI 350 baby) and he doesn't fill the filter either...jebx said:You could alwatys pull the oil filter out and drain what is in it out and put it back in. Might give you a little of a dry start, but I'd be willing to bet most quickie places don't bother to put oil in the filter.
Err, not quite.BuiltNotBought99 said:well i don't think it's over filled too much but too much oil can blow out seals and gaskets.

If you fill it too much you can cause the balance weights on the crank to hit the oil which causes lots and lots of bubbles and other problems. Could also loose the prime in the pump if it gets too bubbly. But with only a 1/2 quart over you should be fine.
