I drained and refilled my oil today in the 5.7 for the first time. I didnt change the filter because I only have 1500 miles on her. But, according to the manual, a drain and refill calls for 7.0 quarts of oil. So, I let her drain for about 10 minutes and refilled with 7.0 quarts. After checking the oil stick a few times, it appears that I have too much oil in my Tundra. The oil line goes over the fill line by about 1/8th (maybe a little more). Is this dangerous?? Should I drain some out?? I dont want to harm my new engine and plan to change the oil at 3000 miles....so, I will only drive with this much oil for another 1500 miles. But, I heard its dangerous to overfill so I am a little worried. Advice/opinions would greatly be appreciated......thanks
