I did get 99% of the quart bottle in there. Since it didnt start to overflow out of the top hole, am I a little low on oil now? I wouldnt think so since none came out when I first opened it. I test drove it and all was normal.
Did anyone else use a full quart and still not have any overflow? Please advise. Thanks!

same thing happened to me on my fill. I had like a couple drops (literally) come out the top hole when draining. My car wasn't exactly level (pointed down a hair, but pretty close.
I stuck my pinky in the top hole and i could feel the oil JUST below the threads, so it was perfect.
