  • When it’s still somewhat reasonable “too much”, as opposed to flooding the entire engine block with oil, the worst case scenario is that the piston rings get damaged, resulting in small amounts of oil making its way into the combustion chamber and gets burned off. Long term effects of this is that the engine consumes a little bit of oil.

    In your case, I think you’ll be fine. It’s so little over, that I wouldn’t worry about it. You might see the engine burn off some oil and eventually stabilize on a more healthy level.

    Source: I am no expert, so take what I say with a bucket of salt. I did experience the last scenario myself about 15 years ago. I still drive it with no long term effects.
