				Overfilling crankcase
			 
 
			
			I probably should have posted this under oil change stories.  
 I recently had my independent MB mechanic replace the rear diff mount on my 1973 MB 280 dual cam six with carb.
 
 I had him or I should say the kid in his shop so an oil change.  They used Castrol 20w/50.  I was kind of curious why and he said that's what he puts in all MBs.  I trust his judgement.
 
 However, when I checked my dip stick later in the day, it looks like the "kid" overfilled my crankcase.  It's about a quart over the max line.  I'm curious....is this a big deal.  Can it cause problems.  It's probably coincidental but my car seems to be hesitating...not running as well.
 
 Can either of these things affect my buggy?
 
 I'm a novice here and appreciate your input.
