oil weight...

[240 2NR]

Slow down the oil insertion next time. If you take it easy you should be able to pour in all the oil without spilling past the little dimple ring around the hole, then all you need is a paper towel to wipe up the excess.

Seriously, cars are not simple machines, take the time to treat it right or you'll have a lot of these threads in your future.

My suggestion is pull out the owner's manual that should be in your glove compartment and read it cover to cover (no I'm not kidding). You can skip the unimportant stuff like presetting your stereo, but you should be able to figure out what's important. It really does tell you what to change and when and what you should be using for oil and the like. It's actually a great source of knowledge for the 240.
