Ok I was wrong... I'm suprised no-one's steered me straight yet.

Only older engines splashed the oil around with the crank.

The newer (or anything post 60's) will most likely have a oil pickup that pumps the oil to the top of the engine.
As the oil works it's way back down it lubricates the engine.

But to get to the point... one cm won't damage your engine.
You may notice a difference in performance... but it's a street car right??



And if you want to worry about that bit of oil.

The easiest way is the drain the lot through the sump plug and put it back in again.

The only other way to do it would be to get a small peice of tubing and an electric fuel/oil pump and pump it out...
