My mechanic changed my oil and put about 1/2 a quart too much. Can this damage the engine? Should I drain the extra or just leave it alone? The car is a Chevy Malibu 6 Cyl.

Is too much oil a problem?

1/2 qt exta oil is not a problem.
If you had a few extra qts of oil in the crankcase, that would be a significant problem.

Just motor on, happily.
