AoA guys, today went for an oil change of my Suzuki alto vxr 660cc at Suzuki i9 Islamabad motors, they have changed the oil but they didn't have oil filter. I got the oil filter changed by some local vendor ( after changing the engine oil by Suzuki showroom). The person that changed the oil filter poured the remaining oil into the engine that was left in the oil bottle by Suzuki showroom guys. I want to know is it OK or should I get the oil drained as I have heard that max oil level for Suzuki alto is 2.8 litres but collectively they have poured 3 liters of oil. Attaching a pic of oil bottle for reference. Regards Uploading...
Ps I have drained about 100ml of oil from dipstick with the help of a syringe and a tube. Experts kindly guide what to do now. Should I be worried or is it OK?

Well tried getting pics but cannot get some valuable idea from it coz of dark, will share in the morning, though it's a few milimeters above the 2nd hole in the dipstick

should be fine. no issues. just keep a check on the oil level on the dip stick

Thinking (Thinking) 2023-03-02 09:38:09 +0500 #2198

park the car at level. let it stay there for 2-3 hours without engine running. than check after cleaning the dip stick and than inserting and removing it. i dont think 200ml extra should show so high on dip stick.

This is the dip stick level in the morning on a plain level without starting the car after cleaning and reinserting the dip stick

This is the other side of the dipstick. Kindly have a review please.

how much time the car was parked? to me it seems that the car was parked for 2-3 hours. get it checked after the car is parked for 6-7 hours. the level seems to be fine. jab ap gari chlatay hain to oil engine to lubricate krta rahta hai. or jab ap gari park krtay hain to wo oil ahista ahista wapis oil container mai jana start kr daita hai. ye jo oil ap ko upper mark say ooper nzar aa rha hai ye woi oil hai jo ahista ahista wapis ja rha hai. let it parked for 8-9 hours and then check there will be no oil above upper mark.

It was parked like roughly 7 hours or so

Though I have managed to drain some oil using a syringe and catheter tube. I have drained about 210 ml for safety. Here are the dip stick results now

Yes, you can switch to 5W-30.

Thinking (Thinking) 2023-03-02 20:54:02 +0500 #2204

oil level is fine on the dip stick. do not remove any more oil. however do keep a check on oil level and you might have to pour some oil back if required.

you are good here.
no need to do anything further

ziarv (zia) 2023-03-03 17:38:52 +0500 #2206

yes, it's between 15% \to 20%. I am using kix 5w30.

My 2018 Vitz with CVT and 1KR-FE engine has done 40K km. and of course almost 5 years since new. I got it at 23K in Aug 2021.
I’m confused as some say CVT oil should be changed now and some say I can wait till 80K km.
Can someone guide what should be done. I’m from Karachi and checked with Toyota Central and they were reluctant to change the oil for me. If I have to get it changed by the book, can anyone guide where to get it done from in Karachi. Also, most people say the correct replacement oil is CVTF-FE, is that correct?
By the way I do not feel any abnormal transmission lag and pick and average seem fine. I have no other Vitz to compare though.

Honda 5w30 SN and SP engine oil OCI Question:
AoA All. I was using Total 5w30 API SP in my Civic R18A, for 7000-8000 km (xulfiqar sir mentioned 10,000 km OCI).
Just now I changed oil from Honda. They poured 5w30 API "SN" fully synthetic one and advised me to change it at 5000 km..
So what should be the OCI for SN oil?. And are Honda guys wrong?
..
Thank you.
