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.

Mobil synthetic is perfect for your car, thats what I use and I have no problems.

1999 Eclipse RS (all show)
1990 Turbo Eclipse (race)

my 95 rs manual says only 4qts!! sup with that.. do different models hold diff amounts?

^^what once was^^


^^what is now.. and permanently^^

I beleive that all models except the turbo models should run 4.5 quarts.

so am i safe with keeping 5 in there or should i do something about it?

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.
