Re: Mechanic...?
An extra quart of oil hurts nothing and does not increase oil pressure. Keep in mind if you check the oil after the vehicle has set all night as much oil as can possibly drain back into the pan has done so. This will show over full.
Most people prefer to have enough oil in the engine that the pan remains full while there is oil circulating in the engine.
That is why you start an engine,let it run a minute or so, shut it off and recheck the level.
While this is not much of an issue in jeeps there are some engines (2.7 chrysler) that canstarve for oil around turns if the level is even a pint low.
