maybe a
tad strong there Angie, but certainly some good points
Over filling with oil
may damage the engine.
This means that if you over fill it by a few ml, then the chances are pretty good that you will be ok
Over filling it by a whole ltr - is kinda pretty much guaranteed to cause a problem I'm afraid
And one which isn't covered by the warrenty
It's a bit like the warning on page 295:
"serious amage may occur if petrol is used in diesel engines"
It doesn't say
will occur - becuase if all you do is fill it up with petrol you will probably get away with it.
If you add £5 of petrol to a tank which was almost full of diesel - you
may get away with it (I wouldn't try personally though!).
Hopefully hondatechs post will prove good news though - let us know how it goes
