2008 Honda Civic OIL OVERFILLED/TPMS HELP!
THis is pretty simple. I've got a good car.
I checked the oil tonight, it was a little low.
It was 1/3 full on the X's part of the orange dipstick. I put about 2/3 of a quart of penzoil oil into it.
I checked it multiple times now, and it is FULL on the x's part and even a little above the X's area. Like 1/4 an inch or so.
It doesn't go above the curved area of the stick, it's below that, but just a little above the orange x's area.
like this....
::::::::::xxxxxxxxxx::::]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
my oil is at the 2nd : on the right side, just a little over, but before the larger stick area. Is this okay? I estimate I'm maybe 1/4 a cup over or so?
Also my TPMS has been lit for awhile. Anyone know how much that costs? Thank you for any help I may get. I'm just not a car guy at all. Sucks.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

A quarter cup won't hurt anything.
"TPMS" letters lit up means there's a fault in the system....usually it's one or more of the tire pressure sensors has failed....either it's gone bad or maybe someone replaced tires and broke a sensor. Any rubber valve stems installed that you can see instead of the metal ones?
Needs diagnosis first, and then a repair estimate can be made.
