Default Oil Pressure ...PLEEEZ Help

Team:

I changed my Oil with synthetic Mobil 1 and M1-206 oil filter yesterday at 3500miles. Before that I had Castrol 10W30 @ 500miles. I let oil drain for 15 minutes from oil pan and oil filter.

What I noticed, is that I just added half quart in filter and added 5 quarts to car. When I checked the dipstick, the dipstick id full all the way through the "ADD OIL" mark.

Have I added too much oil? Also, oil pressure is right before 60 at idle and when I punch the gas it goes very close to 80 at redline.

Is this all okay? I hope I haven't added too much oil.
If I have, how can i get rid of some.

Thanks,

Adnan

A lot of folks (myself included) run 6 qts with a filter change, so you're fine... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

so is oil pressure very close to 80 at redline and just before 60 at idle an okay situation?

I've been wondering about this too, My 02 SS Camaro is the same way. I run Mobil 1 10W 30 and the stock AC Delco Filter.
