This will sound confusing so i will try to say it as clearly as I can.
Yesterday i changed the oil in my wifes 5. I have done this in the past so no problems...so i thought. I did the usual meaning jack the car up remove the plug and let the oil drain. After this I removed the filter casing and replaced the filter...with the correct filter (had wrong filter once before.) After replacing the rubber rings and filter i put the parts back on. Sounds normal so far. While doing this I also was diagnosing a tire issue. After rotating tires I drop the car back on teh ground and put the oild in the engine. I take the car for a spin to see if my tire issue went away. It did but the car acted strange. The car started blowing out white smoke from the exhaust. I hurried the car back to the garage where I let it sit for a few minutes before checking the oil again. The sitck says it had too much oil in it. I though my mistake, so i let some oil out. After doing this a few times the stick still says there is too much oil. i drain out all of the oil from the plug. To me if there is no oil coming out of the plug there is no oil in the engine...right? So i fire up the car for a couple minutes and turn it off. After letting it sit for a few minutes I check the oil again and it still says there is too much oil in the car. i take it out for a drive and only once did it blow white. So I let the car sit overnight and check it this morning and still too much oil. The car drives fine, no idle issues no smells not odd noises. Can someone please help me. I have called around to the local shops around here and no ideas. My mechanic doesn't know what is going on. I am in desperate help.
