I use a new copper crush washer with every OC. They cost virtually nothing, you know.

Relax, running it 7/8 of a quart high isn't going to kill it. Just get it out when you can and don't worry about it. Nothing's going to happen until you get the crank submerged.

Not a VQ, but had a Jeep CJ that was overfilled and burned oil shortly thereafter.

my car burns about 1/4 of a quart every oil change. I just change the oil every 3k miles or 4 months since pennzoil platinum is super cheap.

THanks guys

You put more than 5qts of oil?

I use the Mobile One jug (5qt) & it is close to the H. so 5qt is already a lot.. i think manual states 4.2XX qt.

Get yourself another oil change (correct one) if i were you. GL
