What are the signs of adding too much oil to your car?

When an engine is overfilled with oil, signs that the overfill occurred progressively worsen as the vehicle is driven further. The excess oil leads to increased pressure in the engine block, which can cause the rear main bearing seal to rupture, leading to a small oil leak. In cars with manual transmissions, this rupture allows oil to contact the flywheel and the clutch disc face, which can lead to front seal failure. As the leak continues to worsen, oil is spread throughout the engine bay as far out as the wheel brakes.\nIf enough oil is added so that there is contact with the rotating crank,..

What are the common reasons for a check engine light to come on?

The onboard computer depends on oxygen sensors in determining the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust. It then makes adjustments to increase the fuel economy. A malfunctioning oxygen sensor can rob a car of up to 40 percent of its normal fuel economy. Continuing to operate the vehicle with a bad sensor fouls spark plugs and damages the catalytic converter.\nThe gas cap maintains the pressure within the fuel tank and prevents fumes from escaping into the environment. If it is loose, damaged or missing, fuel can evaporate from the tank. Tightening or replacing the fuel cap improves fuel eco..

What are the benefits of 100-octane gas?

The increase in horsepower and improved acceleration are, in part, due to the oxygen. Oxygen adds to the horsepower and helps the spark timing that slows acceleration with lower octane gasoline. Spark timing also plays a hand in reduced gasoline usage efficiency. When the spark timing improves, so does the gas mileage in most cars. The car's engine runs smoother with 100-octane gasoline because of the hydrocarbons that vaporize and combust chemicals to energy more efficiently.
