Topped off oil, took for test drive and car is abnormally sluggish.

so how much did you overfill exactly and curious as to why it impacted the idle speed? Originally Posted by TreeSemdyZee Overfilling will definitely cause huge issues. I overfilled mine

I overfilled mine earlier this year and caused major problems. It would not idle correctly and after a serious idle issue the idle reset itself to about 1100 rpm.
I let the car drain for an extended period of time to try and clear the air bubbles caused by the overfill. When I drained the oil, there were a LOT of air bubbles. I then had to pull the battery cable to reset the ecu.
Due to all of this, I no longer ever fill to the Full line.
