A very small amount over the full line shouldnt cause any huge issues. My civic calls for 4.5 quarts, but that still leaves a third of the operational range without oil. I figure that the oil filter takes the additional .5 qts so I just dump a whole 5 qt jug down the hole and that gets me to the full mark.
You arent wrong in the slightest, but it would have been nice to make it through the winter or at least the holidays!
No rest for the weary I suppose.
