+Once again, I must change the oil and oil filter in my now *wife's / our* vehicle. I repeat the process documented in my previous post.
+
+## Hazard of Too *Much* Oil
+I did not do as well as I did the first time. I poured in too much oil, an amount that just submerged the entire dipstick indicator. This *could* be very bad because if the oil is reachable by the crankshaft, it would whip the oil into foam. Aerated oil does not lubricate well. Through various forums I was reassured that the level of excess oil added probably, almost certainly, would not result in any kind of engine damage or be sufficient to reach the crankshaft, but I made sure to get the level between the hatches anyway by draining some oil from the drain plug beneath the car.

+It was much easier this time, as can be expected. Done.
