I did an oil change. Drained all the oil out. Put on the new filter and put in 5 quarts of Mobil 1 10w synthetic. If I pull out the dipstick, dry it off, push it all the way down and pull it up, it says im over. Its a decent amout too

 

Yep, 5 qts.

 

Isnt it bad to have too much oil?

 

Crank up the engine and let your new oil filter fill up . This may take down the level just a bit.

 

That's what I was going to say.

 

I did the oil change a while ago (not too long ago). Sorry if I sounded like I did it today.

 

5 qts should make it read right at full after eng has been run and shutdown.
Sure it was 5 qts ya put in?
Maybe someone has swapped dipsticks on ya.
Try a dipstick from another Camaro that is known to be accurate.

 

What filter did you use?

If it's the short one (PF25) then 5 quarts may be a little too much; if it's the long one (PF35) then it will take a little more than 5.

EIther way, you're not going to cause any problems. I would guess it's less than a half quart high on the stick, which isn't anything to worry about. A whole quart or more extra would be a bad thing.

And like the other guy said, the dipstick isn't exactly a precision instrument....

 

yep, dump four quarts in the engine. Pour the fith in the filter before install.

 

mine does that too, its not TOO much above, but its no at the line, maybe half a centimeter above..

atleast u didn't look at ur haynes manual that tells u to use 5.5 quarts.. then it goes really far above
