Hello
i just change the oil and change a new oil filter for my opel astra 1.6i 16v for the first time after buying it, I put about 3.5L-3.6L of mobil2000 oil in the engine but later I read in the manual that the capacity withchanging filter is 3.25L.
is it the maximum capacity or what.
is it necessary to empty some of the oil or nothing will happen if I continue.
thanks

As long as your oil level is between 'add' and 'full' on the oil dipstick, I wouldn't worry about it. If your level is above the 'full' mark, just loosen your drain plug at the bottom of the oil pan and empty some.

By the way, change your oil every 3000 miles or 5000 km. That will help preventing early engine failure.
