4tec oil over fill
What happens if you overfill the oil on a 4tec engine, does it affect performance?

I have a 2006 rxp. I just got done rebuilding the engine and was wondering how much oil is needed for a bone dry engine? I put 4 quarts in and it dosent even touch the stick! Thanks

Did your antifreeze level in the bottle/tank rise? based on this info, I would think there are misaligned gaskets or crack somewhere...
