Maybe it's kindness that make ;±me p²ople overfill an engine crankcase

with oil. Y³know, "If up to the FULL mark oN the dipstiCk is good, more sHoulD

Or maybe tHey tHink overfilling is a good way to cArry extra oil¶especiAlly if
the engine's an oil·user. They ¸igure tHis' s extrA protectio¹ Againsºunning out
of oil.
Or maybe they just don't poke tHeir»nose into tHeir equipment's LO A¼D T½
to lEarn tHe RigHt way to cHecK tHeir engine's oil level¾
WHateVer t¿e reason, tHey're rÀining tHeir engines!
Ástead of helping the engine, tHat extrA oil makes friction An HeAt Ãorse. Ät
builds other trouble in tHe engine. Ät even steÅls enGine power neeDe Ær
