Title says most of the issue. I'm at about 16k miles on my '13, around 5100 miles from the last oil change and I checked my oil this afternoon after driving to work and letting the car sit for 4 hours. It was around halfway down the dipstick dead center between L and H.
I added around 1/2 a qt of oil which took it to just below the H hole in the dipstick. I then went for a test drive. The car immediately felt underpowered. I first noticed it when approaching a stop sign. I usually blip the throttle on downshifts to get the RPM's up and when I did that at multiple stops nothing happened. So I decided to leave a stop sign and attempt to drive the car harder than usually by stepping into it. It felt like nothing was there. The car slowly accelerated and felt extremely underpowered. I drove it for 5 miles or so with no improvement. After I got back to my office building I sat in the parking lot for 10-15 mins and checked the oil level again, it was about 3/4 the way between L and H. I always check when the car is either cold from the night before or it's sat for at least a few hours. Oil: Redline Synthetic 5w-30 Miles since last oil change: 5100 Outside Temp: 83 degrees w/ 53% humidity. I've read on some of the other overfilled oil threads that the ECU might need to be reset? Or that the outside temp is causing an issue? I drove the car this morning to work and had absolutely no issues. Should I drive the car home after work and siphon / drain some oil out of it? I don't want to risk damaging my engine.... Thanks! |
