Default WTF! Look at my dipstick!

It's like way above where it's supposed to be... Yeah this is probably a really bad sign because my oil almost smells like gasoline... How much am I looking at for repair costs?

Well my oil was changed like only ~2000 miles ago. I thought i should be good for a while. Blue smoke out of the tailpipe? No that I have seen.

if no blue smoke, I don’t know how to explain gasoline smell, i don’t see any other way to get fuel into your oil, do u feel any power decrease? i would change oil, make sure level is right and see what happens.

Over filling your oil wouldnt hurt much other than your cat in 2000 miles. Better get a test pipe to be safe

/\ +1... i didnt sink of this... i didn’t think that some ppl would add some sh.t to the oil, if it would really help they would sell oil already mixed with it…
