    Default 2012 ``````````s

    did oil change in 2 ( 2012 last summer ) took 1 gallon , + about half of another quart --------> do 4 quarts , and check dip stick level ---- add if non is visible on the stick ---- if it is just touching the stick at the bottom , crank it up , and or add just a bit more not much --- let it run for a minute or so , turn it off and re-check that level it should be lower not higher after the running of the engine ( but it is better to be safe than oil all over the out side ) ....

    Too Much Oil if it's coming out the Dip stick hole. Did you change both filters? You're gonna need a turkey baster or some syringe that will draw that extra oil out.

    That was my thought too......or similar.

    Because I can't imagine anyone who has been a member on here for TEN YEARS asking that question seriously.
