Assalam Alikum. I have Honda city 2018 1.3 M/T. Recently when I went for an oil change to a local shop. He used the whole 4L bottle of Engine oil (Shell Hx 7 5w 30) along with the genuine oil filter change. On the dip stick, it is showing exactly on the upper dot.

When I did some research, I got to know that it should be 3.7L instead of 4L & the oil should be in between on the dot markers on dip stick. So should I do something or just wait for next oil change to get it back to 3.7L. Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

3.7 is the right quantity

Should I do something now, or keep it running till next oil change?

Go to a place that sucks oil. Take 200 ml out atleast

Leave it, extra 300ml oil will make no difference.

If the level is not above the upper mark, you are good to go.

I think even 3.8 ltrs take the level above upper dot. Its not good for the seals of the engines. You can have lube oil leakages soon
