Ive recently come back from uni and went out in my 90 for the first time since xmas earlier. Im planning a drive to cornwall in the morning (3-4hrs) so thought i'd check the oil level prior to leaving.
It read well above the "danger" mark which was odd because when i changed the oils in the summer i made sure everything was spot on. I did however spot a bottle of atf fluid which wasnt in its usual place in my 90's garage (open, so no way to secure access to it) on our farm, so im thinking someone may have overfilled it on purpose.
If the case is that atf has been added to the engine oil, am I safe to drain a little off so its at a safe level via the sump plug, or play it safe, dump the lot and refill?
Thanks
