Thanks for all the input. I'll have to try driving the car modestly and check if it rises and then get into the throttle to see if that makes a difference. Meanwhile, if anyone knows the answer to how much residual oil is in an FE when drained, that would help me understand how much I may be overfilled since I calibrated with the full 8 qts. At the time I figured no harm in having a bit too much oil. I don't believe this is actually hurting anything if that is the case, but just trying to understand the issue and resolve it.

Thanks again,

Kevin
