Oil over fill, ok?

[Itchy]

Changed exactly 5 quarts to Redline 5W20 oil. After changing the oil and starting the engine the oil level was directly in between the 2 marks on the dipstick. I let the car sit overnight with a cold engine and now it shows about a 1/4" over the top mark. Is it OK to drive? Should the oil be checked after the engine was run or cold?

Secondly, I did my first tire rotation at 23,000 miles. No shimmy nor vibration - Whew!

Don't worry about that little bit of overfill.

Rotate your tire more often.
