My oil level, cold, was just below the bottom mark. I aded a half quart, waited and checked, and that put it exactly between the two marks. I then added the other half, assuming that it would bring it to the top mark and now its WAY past that. (see pic)
Whats going on here? Should I drain some of this out before starting it? |

Have some one with a shop vac help you. Place the vac hose on the oil fill hole. Turn on while removing drain plug. Vacuum will hold the oil in the engine. Toggle vac power allowing some oil to drin out. Replace drain plug and check level.
