too much oil?
i put in 5 quarts of mobil 1 5w-30. im guessing the bottom mark on the dipstick is low and the top one is full but 5 quarts put it atleast a 1/4 inch above the top notch. im sure its gonna burn oil but is this gonna be an issue?

I would drain a little bit of it to bring it within its limits. With too much oil the crank can come into contact with most of the oil and whip it into a "froth". The pick up tube won't suck up bubbles too well and the possibility of something not getting sufficient oil is possible. We have a windage tray in our car so it will help a little but it's not a full tray.
