Thanks for the info.
I decided to change the oil myself this time.
I ended up adding 3.3 QTS of oil and the oil level is slightly above full now. When I changed the oil, the dipstick reading was right on full. But I guess some oil drained down into the oil pan overnight.
At any rate, the oil level is down to an acceptable level now and I feel better about that. Next time, I will try adding 3.2 QTS.
