Oil Level too High
 

If you read my previous post you know what I'm talking about-

I think I found a discrepency in the Honda literature; The owners manual
states that it takes 4 qts. of oil unless you don't change the filter. In
that case it takes 3.7.

However, on top of the engine it states that the oil capasity is 3.2 qts.

I've taken out enough to get it down to the full mark, about 3/4 of a qt and
I'll see if that solves my smoke problem.

Thanks.

An Imperial quart = 1.13653 liters
A U.S. quart = 0.946353 liters.

Still doesn't fully explain the discrepancy... but be aware there are
different kinds of quarts. Liters are a better unit of measure.
