fml, no oil.
Overfilling an engine with oil is VERY bad. If it's high enough (which if you've put four EXTRA quarts in it undoubtedly is), the crank will be submerged in oil. As it spins it will aerate the oil enough that it cannot properly lubricate the bearings, the lifters can't pump up sufficiently (and you'd get valvetrain noise), the oil will overheat, etc. etc.
Do the smart thing and drain the excess oil out!

Ya, some great advice here.... Joe thanks for an intelligent response.
Oil drained. It DID NOT fill the 7 quart drain pan, it had maybe 6 quarts in it tops. The oil was black, no milkshake color or bubbles as with the first ever oil change i did to it. It did how ever appear to have two different oil consistency coming out. I don't know if that is due to me having to mix new with old oil and different weight oil. There was a steady stream coming out then a smaller, more free flowing coming out slower behind it. Never saw that before. New drain plug is going on now, new crank sensor o ring tomorrow hopefully and that'll solve my oil leaks.
