    Default HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP!!! I'm a n00b. Slow GSR!

    My friend requested to put oil in my car after i changed the oil and he put too much in. i didnt discover this until after i realized my car suffered a significant loss of power . Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong with it? its a 94 gsr by the way haha.

    i did its at the appropriate level (according to the dipstick) *warm* and its still slow as s***! its not over heating and i didnt see any oil on the plugs if that helps narrow it down.

    how long did you let it run with the oil over? and also, is the power loss across the whole band, or just at certain RPMS?

    it is possible your oil went all the way to the back and caused your muffler bearings to be overlubed which causes weak back pressure ...............weak back pressure=loss of power

    Is there any blue smoke?
    There could be too much oil and the crankshaft is hitting it and slinging in on the walls. The lifters could also collapse. Hell you could break your crankshaft if you mess it up enough.
