    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.

    It should take 3.5 qt. You need to read the owners manual

    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.
