Can 2 much oil cause low pressure ? Car is a Honda Prelude , 2L , UK spec . Thanks , i know the marks r there 4 a reason , but by accident i put on 2 much oil and i m going 2 do it proper , but 2day had 2 drive it for a couple of miles and light was flashing . I stop it , of course . Nothin in manual about 2 much oil , i thought light only come on if low level . Thank u all .On a petrol engine , if the engine oil level s above the maximum mark , will make light on dash 2 come on?

Yes it can. Too much oil in the sump can cause the crankshaft to churn it up into a foam, which obviously contains air. Once the oil pump takes that foam in the air in it causes the oil pressure to drop.
too much oil can be just as bad as not enough, and yes it could cause the light to come on. get the excess oil out of that engine unless you want to cause damage to your engine.
I wouldnt think so, but putting too much oil in ur engine is just as bad as too little. It can blow ur oil seals for starters. Get excess oil out if its a lot.
