Hey brother so if it's an excessive amount of oil it means your rings on the pistons are most likely on their way out so oil is pushing past them. May be try take the car to a mechanic so they can pressure test it just to make sure before doing any repairs

During the drainage of oil,is it OK if l put the car on steep area on flt is fine, and is OK while the engine is still hot to drain out oil or must l wait for it to be cold.l actually want the hole oil to be out with its last tip😀

@BrandanHewitt

If it's possible to angle bthe car up slightly yes that would work the best to get all the old oil out, I would suggest draining bwhen hot as the oil will be in its most liquid form. 5w30 oil is to be used
