I just went cruising around for about 30 minutes I then thought I would check my transmission fluid, so I parked on the side of the road and put the car in 3 2 1 and R then into park and with the car running I checked the transmission fluid, level was fine, I then accidentally checked the engine oil with the car running =/, realised what I had done and turned the car off and waited 10 minutes I then checked the engine oil and it seems to be about 1cm over the full line, ####ing kmart auto service, anyway everything was fine drove about 5 meters down the road and I got this beep beep engine oil hot or something, I turned the car off and checked to see if I put the dipstick back in correctly which I had, I had to get home to I had to stop start it 6 times to get home, what is causing this problem everything has been fine ever since I checked the levels =/ ?.
i pumped my tyres up to 34 psi yesterday from 23 thats the only other thing I have done recently, oh and o2 sensors and catback exhaust 2 weeks ago.
things that have been replaced 1000km ago +
radiator fluid
trans fluid
engine oil and filter
brake fluid
diff fluid
spark plugs
o2 sensors
inlet manifold gasket changed to mace
I realise my engine oil is to full which I will fix ASAP but it has been fine for about a month 1000km
need help ASAP please.
I didnt let the car overheat to the red mark just kept driving and stopping as soon as it went over the half full mark it did get to nearly the red once will my car be ok ? a note if its any help the car doesn't over heat if I don't drive it, so if I let it idle it wont overheat ? well not straight away like driving does anyway.
the car would seriously overheat in like 5 seconds the needle would go from normal to red in 5 seconds so I would have to quickly brake get on the corner of the road and stop the car, then in about 30 seconds of the radiator fan going the car would go back to normal ?
and the radiator fans are working.
