OK so I changed Bugsy's oil yesterday, filled up the filter with oil before
installing and then proceeded to dump 5 full quarts of 20w50 Castrol into the
engine. Realize now that is too much oil by at least 1/2 / 3/4 a quart on the
dipstick.. Do I jack Bugsy back up and attempt to drain a quart or do I simply
drive 4-500 miles until it burns/leaks back out. Or do I have an
inaccurate/incorrect dipstick. I thought the oil capacity on a 1098 was 5
quarts. Your thoughts gentleman? I don't want to foam the oil by overfilling
but how much over is too much.
