I've never had to use more than 5 quarts to get the correct level...between the lo-hi marks. You should be fine. Lower it..you don't need it up anymore. Run for a few seconds to get oil into filter and block. Shut off and set for a few minutes before checking level again.

Well johonny , in the meantime while I'm waiting for the exhaust I was thinking K@N drop in or just a simple replacement air filter....Next will probably be changing the rear diff. It looks pretty easy after seeing the DIY page. Then the 3M clear bra for mirrors,bumper,hood,and fenders....
I've been looking at brakes to. Possibly brembo or powerstop slotted rotors with ebc pads..
Thanks Tony

damn where to begin
A TTE lip really completes the front end
trd sways and braces to tighten up the suspension
some Tom's stuff too
RMM front tower strut bar
the list could go on and on
suspension is a great place to start
take your time ask all the questions you need
but alot of stuff has been talked about
i usually do and advance search and the bump it up from 3 years ago lol
hence my name "Ancient Thread Bumper"
