What will your engine do if it is filled with way to much oil ? My daughter paid some guy to look at this Blazer she bought and upon returning it he said he put 3 qts. of oil in it and now it was knocking really loud. I then checked it and it was way overfilled. I'm going to drain some out but, I don't know what damage has or could have been done. Thanks, Kelly

Kelly, it shouldn't hurt anything, but it can cause leaks. How far over full was it?
