Oil Levels

I just did an oil change but may have put 12-13 Liters instead of 10-11 Liters. will this damage the truck ? should I drain some oil or leave it be ? I do 1000 - 2500 km a week. 2001 dodge 2500 diesel 5 speed 2wd

Re:Oil Levels

Re:Oil Levels

At worst it will be blown out into the overflow bottle. Depending on how full it is, you might have oil dripping out of it and on the ground/front of motor.
