Car problems! Help please! Too much oil?

Please respond if you are an automechanic. I need your help. I own an 06' Hyundai Sonata. During the last oil change, they put too much oil into it. My check engine light went on and I lost acceleration. Then it kept dying out. Then I took it to a reputable shop instead of the quick oil change place, the reputable shop drained all that oil, replaced the right amount with new oil and checked the other fluids. It ran fine that same day. The next day, after driving it awhile, check engine light went on...no acceleration. Same problem. Today, no check engine light on. But it hasn't been driven. Could too much oil be causing this? Is it a matter of just recirculating the new fresh oil at the right amounts before the check engine light stops coming on and this problem stops? Any help or insight is appreciated. Thank you!Car problems! Help please! Too much oil?
Your problem is not oil related, i suggest you take it for a diagnostic and that can identify the issue. It has nothing to do with the oil. I am thinking an injector problem or something like that....................................鈥?me grab my tools, I will be over in a few!!!!Car problems! Help please! Too much oil?
You have a problem independent of the engine oil in all likelihood. The check engine light should lead the repair shops to the real problem. Don't forget you have a 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty from Hyundai.

Once they drained the oil and filled to correct level, then that part of it was OK. Could they have caused a problem by over filling? Possibly. Usually the engine just starts to vibrate when it has too much oil and goes away when it is reduced to where it should be.





Sounds like you have something else going on. When the Check engine light comes on, it stores a trouble code in the computer. Usually, a code scanner or a Shop can pull the code out of it with their a Diagnostic equipment and tell you what that code is about/what component failed, etc.
have a mechanic check the OBD II fault code for the check engine light to diagnose the problem.
scan it...you have a problem and its NOT oil related
If the last shop put in the right amount of oil, there is no reason for it to be over full unless water is getting into the oil .


When it was drained was there any water mixed with the oil???


The thing here is oil floats on top of oil. When the oil gets to high the oil pump will no longer supply lud to the engine. the oil pump will start pumping water and thus the light goes on.


I think you have a real problum with this car. And have a leak that is allowing water to get into the oil and make it seem it has to much oil.


I think oil is mixing with water.
