I know nothing about current rice burner engines, but I'd guess you are
good to go. If excess oil had caused a problem, I would guess it would
be evident in the form of blown out seals or some similar escape route
for the oil.

Hi All,
Sorry this issue is not related to my two Mercedes but there is no better
place to ask for advice....................
I recently purchased a 2014 Honda CRV with 14K through an estate sale.
I know the family well so it's history is confirmed.... a one owner, no
accident, low mileage vehicle. It had been sitting in a driveway for 6 months
and needed a good detailing but looks almost brand new.
When I went to pick up the vehicle I noticed the oil level showed a very
high on the dipstick but all other levels were good. It was the coldest day of
the year in the Northeast ( Queens, New York - 5 degrees) so I just decided to
drive it 20 miles to my house before looking into it further. The next day I
did an oil change and discovered there was 7 1/2 quarts of oil in the drain
pan!!!! The owners manual calls for 4,2 quarts. I checked the records on the
vehicle and saw the oil was last changed a year ago and had been driven 1800
miles since then. It looks like the repair shop apparently overfilled the oil
during that change. There is no evidence of oil in the engine compartment and
the car ran fine on the trip to my house.
What damage could this have caused?
Any precautions should I be taking at this time?
Are their future issues I should be looking for or did I dodge a bullet because
it is apparently running normal at this time?
Thanks in advance for your help!
