You think? Go pull the dipstick out. It should be inbetween the 2 dots. Full is at the second dot. If you are over then drain the oil out. Depending on what engine you have 4 or 4.2 quarts fills it. Pull the code for the CEL and see what it says.

definately drain some out to the right amount, if you overfill you can blow seals and everything else, could be really damaging.
