You really dont want to know

The oil light kept coming on. Turns out even tho it was serviced last week, the guy didn't have the equipment to cancel the warning light, so it'll keep flashing until we get it to a garage to get it cancelled Isa panicked and put another litre of oil in it hahahaha!!!

Too much oil could fuck the car as much as too little could. Need to be careful there or she'll have another fecked car!!

Did that in my nova years back, was pulling out of petrol station saw loads of smoked so pulled over and opened bonnet and it was spewing out everywhere

Also managed to not tighten all 8 bolts on front wheels in that car and took it for a drive for about 5 miles the sound it made was like there were a load of tools left in the engine bay shaking about
