My nephew drives my truck. When he brought it over, I checked the oil
and I thought it looked about a half quart too low. I added about a
half quart and checked the oil again. I guess my eyes too bad or my
estimate of how much is a half quart is off. It now looks a half a
quart over. I am told that too much oil is bad too. I just can't
find out how much is too much.

If I had a scrap piece of hose I might try the thumb over the straw
and try to get a little out.

For the record Sir, I wanted to blow it the hell up.

Forget about it, 1/2 quart over won't hurt anything. Next time do not add
any oil until it is a full quart low. (34 years experience on and off road
