<VV> Too Much Oil

[ChiefTAM at aol.com]

Thanks for all the input, was just wondering, as I noted that at the last  
oil change, even putting in the proper amount, my oil level was just 
slightly  above the full mark.  No smoking, runs fine.  I also noted the  language 
in the book when I changed the oil in the new Silverado.

=======================================
Smitty Says:   Todd in my non humble opinion not much happens to the engine 
until there  is enough oil inside that the bottom side of the pistons start 
slaming  into it.  No doubt it will get messy and smoke like no tomorrow, 
and  
blow oil everywhere.
