Is this too much oil? Will it be fine to drive with that much oil? I know it supposed to just below the dot.

Don't worry about it. A dipstick is hardly a calibrated instrument. I accidentally dumped an entire 5 qt jug one oil change (instead of 4.4 qt) and went well over the top dot. No harm done.

Ok cool. Thanks man. Appreciate the response.

I recently noticed this on mine too, dealer overfilled it. From the bottom dot to top dot is a quart of measurement. This car holds 4 quarts. So if it's slightly above the top dot, it should be fine. You'll need to be way over the dot to have the risk of frothing. Mine's about an inch over; more than I'd like, but sounds like it's fine from what I gathered.

When I put 5 qts in, it was still less than a half inch past the top dot. If it's an inch over, you might want to stop by the dealer and tell them.

If 4.4 qt is the ideal amount, and the 5 qt you put in was half an inch over, that means it probably only takes less than half a quart to go from middle of the mark to full. Mine's probably almost a quart over, I think that's still fine. There was no frothing on the dip stick the few time I've checked it.
