Ahh.., yes you are correct, thanks! Per the manual, it calls for w/oil filter change 5-1/8 quarts, I put 5 quarts even. The oil sits just near the "high" dip stick hole. I was just speaking in general, my dad taught me long ago about the no-no's of over filling.
FYI - Though were not (officially) in summer, it's been very hot this week, I am happy to say, I drive spirited (when safely possible) and my oil temps, even with a/c blowing at times, has not gone over 210*. Gillian is all good!
