Hi
I changed the oil of my Civic 2001, I added 4L, now when I check the oil
level, I see it is above the limit, above the second hole in the dipstick??
I thought my car takes 4L. What should I do now? I am scared to be honest?

Another question about the transmission oil, I tried hard to find where is
the "filling bolt" then I might find it, but I want to ask, is it the one in
the left hand side, I mean it is in the other side of the front, not where
the engine oil bolt is, but in another side? am I right. Thanks a lot.
 
Sorry one more thing, I could not find a washer with the oil bolt?? it has
no washer?
what should I do? I put it back without washer..

Chris, I think 2.5 is too low, add 3, then go from there
but he was told several times to check the manual and he didn't do it, he
had good advice before he started

Look to see if a washer is stuck anywhere. Yes, you should use a (new)
washer.

If its not leaking, leave it alone. For future reference, you are supposed
to buy a new crush washer for the drain plug every time you change the oil.
