Yo Bro...
The dipstick on the "Crossfire" has an one inch proper oil level range. I would not call an engine 6/8" over serviced a little bit of extra oil... but then I could be wrong as I'm not the expert here.
An over or under serviced engine is "not" a good thing. It will not make an engine run cooler or get better gas milage.
In case you are not familiar with the Crossfire, it has a very accurate sensor in the oil pan that allows oil level to be checked without opening the hood. It indicates oil level in one quart increments. The owner's manual specifically states:
The "HI" message indicates that the excess oil "must be removed" from the pan to avoid possible engine or catalytic converter damage.
If the idiot that serviced the oil in my car checked the oil quantity using the in car oil level indicating system like I suspect he did... there is no telling how much oil was put in. Too me that is a big concern, especially after driving mostly at speed for the good part of 700 miles...
Thanks for your input tho...
