Just spin it up to 9k between shifts for the next couple of days. That will bring the oil level down!!

I would sue yourself for overfilling and destroying the engine.

"It's easier to put in oil than take it out."

But nah, just redline more than usual for the first few days. Weeks if you really love it

Better call the towtruck company now and order the flatbed cause your motor is toast...







j/k it's fine if you overfilled a little bit, but 2 extra quarts might be bad. I fill to the top line before spirited drives.
