Nothing will happen to the engine if the oil level is 0.5 liters above the maximum level. Where does aeration come from? where does the foaming come from? This only happens when water gets into the oil.
Exactly. On an 8-quart engine, a half a qt over is nothing at all to worry about.
No)) I already wrote that filling the oil volume to 8 liters, not 8 quarts, but precisely 8 liters, gives the Max level on the dipstick. overfilling another 0.5 liters will not cause any problems for the engine. Most likely, this additional volume was initially included by the manufacturer to add fuel, which can be up to 4-5% of the oil volume.
Foaming and aeration is caused when the oil level in the pan is too high and the crankshaft splashes through the oil thousands of times per minute. At the proper fill level the crankshaft is above the oil and not traveling through it.
Let's remember what the L87 looks like and where its crankshaft is located. I can’t even imagine how much oil needs to be poured in there for the level to reach the crankshaft. Obviously not 0.5 liters)
I am more and more convinced that 8 quartiles of 7.6 liters will give the oil level on the dipstick in the middle. And to get the max level, you need just another 0.5 liters
This “discussion” wasn’t simple from jump street
