Oil change,Too much oil??

I have the 2003 Tacoma prerunner 4cyl 3rz-fe, did my oil/filter change and added 5.7 quarts as per manual. Oil is over full line on dip stick. Is this ok? Thank you everyone!

 

The 4 banger takes 5.7 Qts?

Does not say anything about 4 or 6 cylnder

 

Start it up for a minute shut it off check again the dip stick won't lie always go off of it

 

No. Drain until its in the middle.

 

1) correct
2) looks like you picked correctly
3) doesn't need to say 4 vs 6 if you've picked your model correctly. The model is exclusive to the engine type.

Have you started the motor to fill the filter yet? If not, run it for a minute or two, check for leaks, then let it sit for 10 min before checking again (on level ground of course)

Let us know what you find then.

 

My dealership has been changing mine for 140,000 miles. Every time I get it back its just as you described. I wouldn't worry about it. My truck now has 184,000 on it and runs great.

 

Drove it for a few miles, dipstick registers less than 1/4 inch above full line/hash marks on stick...

 

That's not enough to worry about. Leave it as is, you'll wind up burning that off before too long anyway. If you start dumping in 1+ quarts excess, then you may wind up with some issues, but that small amount above full - fahgedaboutit.

 

actually it does, the engine number says what it is:

2RZ- FE engine - this number means its a 2.4L 4 cylinder engine
With filter 5.5 (5.8, 4.8)
Without filter 4.8 (5.0, 4.2)
5VZ- FE engine - this number means its a 3.4L 6 cylinder engine
With filter 5.4 (5.7, 4.8)
Without filter 5.1 (5.4, 4.5)
Four- wheel drive models and Pre
Runner
3RZ- FE engine - this number means its a 2.7L 4 cylinder engine​

when I do an oil and filter change on my 2.4L 2rz engine I put one 5 gallon jug of mobil one full synthetic in it and it is at the perfect level​

Be sure the filter is full of oil by running it for a minute or two. Check again shortly after shutdown.

 

I just put 5 quarts in & that always puts the level right at the full mark on the stick after the motor has been ran. I'm assuming it drains out all but a half of a quart for whatever reason because my manual also says it should hold like 5.7 quarts.
