Received my Tata Altroz with over-filled oil: Could it cause an issue?

Oil has never been changed. Tata recommends oil change @ 15k km. Mine is at 14k.

BHPian Sameer016 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I checked the oil level in my diesel Altroz and found it to be quite high. Take a look

Before starting

After idling for 1 min

This was the level after sitting idle for the whole night.

Oil has never been changed. TATA recommends oil change @ 15k. Mine is at 14k.

I followed the same procedure and this is the oil level.

Here's what BHPian ph03n!x had to say on the matter:

Ignore the "after starting". But when the engine is cold/ off for like 30 min, check the level like this:

• Take out the dipstick
• Wipe it with a clean cloth
• Dip and fix it in position
• Check the level

If it's still high, TASS overfilled the oil, get them to drain it to max level.

Overfilling oil can cause quite an issue in some engines - I don't know about the 1.5D of Tata though.

Better take it in, do the 15k service now and make sure it's filled right. The 15k km interval maybe the recommended, but if you intend to keep the car for a while, do it at at least 7.5k!

Here's what BHPian Kosfactor had to say on the matter:

Overfilling vs Diesel in Oil sump - nevertheless, please get it checked at the ASC and document it in your job card.
