Talking Re: Oil Overfilled
Its oil, nothing more. I run over full ( +1 QT OR SO ) all the time for the hard corners , so the pickup has a safety margin. High oil causes greater tendency of seal leaks, some small power loss, and possible foaming, though I have never seen that in any car.

My 73 challenger has 10 quarts in the pan and two get pumped into the oil accumulator for the next engine start up cycle, leaving 8 in the pan which has a big baffle tray. That motor always cranks with about 20 psi before the first revolution - thanks to stored oil pressure.

Its oil, less is worse. Your fine. Wdy Enjoy
