I used to see this about twice a month when I was a breakdown mechanic! seen a couple of engines stuffed through it too, one knocked (crank knock) and one rattled as though it could have ben little ends. most are ok after being drained though.
seen one woman fill it to the brim as above but the funniest was the woman who filled her engine with water - literally!!!! right to the top of the oil filler cap with water!!!!! luckily she suspected something wasnt right when it was all oily when it got to the top!!!
women, know your place....on a bus - not behind the whel of a car!!!!!
