4.4 sounds about right...what is the dipstick at for level? Excess oil can cause damage to the catalytic converter.

How do you add an extra 3 qts of oil? I mean, I can see an extra like half quart or something, cause when I change my oil, I get about half a quart at the bottom of a 5 quart jug, I try and save it, but its hard to judge when you start using little extra from the bottom of every container.

As Cody said, drain it and refill it. Make sure you drain into a clean pan.

My car takes 6 qrts. Real easy, 5 qrt jug + 1 qrt. Never overfill.

so i drained about 1k out of it i didnt drain the whole thing lol i just took some out and then my engine light came on i went it to check it out and it said running too rich... but the car on first gear at about 1500 rpms it like loses power kinda and at 2500 its like a rush and the car just takes out like crazy
