My oil was overfilled. How much is too much?
I checked my dipstick after an oil change on my Yaris and the oil is slightly overfilled (or so I think its slightly). I'm wondering if I have to get the excess oil sucked out or just keep driving. So far I have driven my Yaris 300 Ks like this without any noticeable issues.

It appears to me it’s Wayover full. I would bring the car back where the work was done and show them the dipstick. Tell them you want it fixed.
My 09 Yaris blue and oil pressure sensor from an overfill. When the oil light came on I stopped and had the car flat headed to Toyota. $300. I don’t like to think what would have happened if my wife was driving.

I'm pretty sure the oil in the 1NZ engine is contained in a sump separate from the crankshaft counterweights, so it's unlikely to foam the oil, which is often the problem with oil overfills. Foamy oil provides pretty poor lubrication. As much as that looks really overfilled, it is likely only a liter or so over. From the bottom mark to full mark is probably not much more than a liter itself. I would still take it back and have them drain a bit out. You may as well since you already paid it have it done.

Will definitely bring it back to them to drain out the excess oil. This will be the last time I bring my Yaris into the Toyota dealer for an oil change. I will change oil myself and as inconvenient as it may be, it's worth it because if they overfill by such a significant amount I have trouble trusting them to do it again. Such a careless, sloppy mistake.

Yeah, get that taken care of. I write the oil capacity on the engine cover so I don't have to guess.

Doing your own oil changes is the best way to ensure that you get the job done properly. Plus, it's rewarding and saves a lot of money, especially since you can grab a high quality, inexpensive jug of synthetic oil and a filter from any Walmart.

I guess the benefit is that if they screw it up and it causes a catastrophic failure they can be held liable (though probably difficult to prove). If I screw up it's all on me, but I'll still keep changing my own oil because I'm cheap. Lol.

The OP might want to invest in an oil extractor and do the oil changes themselves. The price for them lately is very reasonable.

The oil extractors sucks. Not only literally.
Losening one bolt is faster, gets more old oil out, gets out any debris sitting in the bottom of the oil pan. You have to remove oil filter anyway. It is a bit dirty job, yes. But nothing that a piece of plastic underneath the car (plus gloves) cannot solve. |

Nothing wrong with extracting oil and what is this debris inside of engines? I use dino oil and never have any issues.
If you want to get more oil when draining through the plug, you have to raise the the left side of the car, you might get an extra cup or two of oil out. |
