Can too much engine oil cause damage?

[Peterm69uk]

Advice appreciated, see picture, oil is over the maximum, should some be drained, could this cause problems with the engine or will I be ok?

 

Cheers

Peter do not run it with that amount of oil in it as it will push pass the piston rings and damage other parts of the engine in time

Cheers, got a mobile mechanic coming out to drain some and I’ll get reimbursed for the charge. I’ve already driven 230 miles in it so hopefully no damaged done.

peter have you just had this serviced by a garage only asking because you say you will be reimbursed 

[Peterm69uk]

Yes, just been done

your engine only takes 5 litres you need to ask garage how many liters they put in i recon they put at least 6 litres or even more which seems a very silly thing for your garage to do fingers crossed your ok did your engine smoke by any chance as this would be a sign of burning oil

They said they put in 4.3 Litres, that they never put in a full 5 Litre container, it’s a bit of a mystery but they said whatever I go ahead and do they’d pay for it, even if I want a new oil change so they’re doing everything to rectify it.
