New 2010 oil level too high

[BwanaDik]

Holly ****! Does everyone on this thread NOT have a job or some other activity to occupy your time with? Does anyone obsess about the oil level in their car/truck in the same manner as their FJR?

Here are the steps to fix the issue of the oil sight glass level:

1. Buy the 1 gallon size of your favorite oil (any oil—we’re not going there!)

2. Drain the old oil, replace drain plug and change the filter.

3. Clean the sight glass and place some duct tape on the glass so the oil level is NOT visible.

4. Fill the engine with oil from the 1 gallon jug.

Judging from the posts on this thread the next step will be VERY difficult for some of you.

5. Start the engine and check for leaks—no leaks

6. Go for a ride.

The longer you can leave the duct tape covering the sight glass the closer you are to being cured. If the above procedure doesn’t seem to help, go to www.helpiamanal.com for additional guidance.

Really?? You mean you have to CHANGE THE OIL on these things???? Sheesh!

WHO KNEW!!!!

I've been executing #5&6 for the last 50,000 miles and haven't had any troubles!

I assembled 4 of 5 Yamahas that I purchased. (out of crate) All 5 were over-filled at the factory. It's not the dealers.

Dude, if they don't obsess about oil level, they will just obsess about something else. You musta missed last month when there were like 5 pages of posts while one guy obsessed about .3 volts on his dumb Datel meter.

Then there was the thread obsessing about a .5 percent increase above what was thought to be normal in a stupid tire.

They obsess about bearings, lube points, windshields, headlights, tail lights, and just about anything else you can think of. Its a disease, and those of us that don't have it can't understand.

Personally, I'd rather ride...

You know I hate to say it but apparently some folks need the equivalent of an ignition interlock for operating a computer. :jester:
