I knew that 8.5 quarts was just slightly more than the 8 liters recommended, but it wasn't that much more. Turns out that whole weekend, the HI level indicator & alarm kept going off as I drove those roadways. Got back home and siphoned out about a 1/2 quart. Never had the HI alarm again. And to this day, whenever I perform an oil change, like so many other Crossfire Owners, I only add 8 quarts of oil. The dipstick always shows full in my car. And as a follow-up, whenever I've gone to Fontana Lodge for a Crossfire weekend event since that time, the HI level warniing light & alarm never showed.

Page attached out of the Owners Manual discussing this oil level system alarm.

That's what it sounds like. I just wonder why the information in the odometer window didn't come up before. I think I have about 8.5 quarts in there. How did you siphon some out? I don't have anything that could do that.
