Exclamation jiffylube overfilled my nismo with about 2 quarts

Hey, so i made the biggest mistake a few weeks back when I was in a hurry to change the oil but didnt have time and took it to jiffylube. When they returned the car if wad functioning normally so, but very unlike regular I didnt check the oil level. The car continued to operate normally and was driven about 159 miles to and from work in the next day. By the time I got to 2 miles from my home the car starts hesitating in acceleration, coolant temp was normal but my oil temp was at around 270. I drove it home with no further issues other than the described. When the car cooled i checked the oil only to have to siphon (using blackstone pump) almost halt a gallon of oil.The oil was black as tar as if never changed and only oil was added. The pictures are after their second oil change "fixing the problem". After removing the oil the car operated normally. Today the car made a screeching noise from the passenger side of the engine. Couldnt tell if it came from valve are or crank. There also seems to be an out of time ticking noise on the right side valve area and a wierd fine "grit" residue on oil dip stick. Any input on situation or recommendations for tuner shops in South Fl that build good 370z engines, would be greatly appreciated.
