i never put more than six in, dunno if too much oil will cause a light to come on or not, never had that issue lol

Did you reset the monitoring system? And this is the change oil light, or is it low oil light? 6.5qts does seem a bit much though, usually 5.5 to 5.75.

wow 6 1/2 quarts... I normally only use 5 quarts when I do an oil/oil filter change. Try taking some of the oil out and see if that helps out.

Like I said I thought it was a lot also but if you look at stickys on this site that's what it says. I know I sound like a dumb *** but just following the info. I should have stuck with my gut.

you not confuse with tranmission fluid and oil right ? 6+ quart look like for automatic tranmission, you not miss read that and think that how much for engine oil right ? if ok if you do, just kinda loose the drain plug and get some out.

I've also heard if you remove the box thingy where the filter is and plug the big hole in your tb you will also have hp gains also using an exhaust stretcher............lol come on now how retarded do you think I am. And the page I copied was a sticky for internal engine specs nothing to do with the tranny.
