9357, Oil question(s).
Posted by Mystic511, Dec-02-01 10:43 AM
Two questions:

I changed my own oil about two weeks ago, and I put 5 quarts in. Read some forums today, and started getting paranoid that I put too much oil in. The service manual says 4.5.... so... you guys think it'll be fine at 5 or should I seriously hurry up and drain some oil?

And what kind of oil do you guys use and what do you think is best? I'm on some mobil synthetic right now.

When you check your oil is it above the top mark on the dip stick? If not, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
