yeah... never again will i not do my own. I dont think they drained it I think they just added a 5 qt jug to it.

When I first started it back up it made a grinding noise as it went to start? think it came from the starter? It started right up after that though. I drove it around came back and let it sit. Easily could read oil level and started it back up, no noise

Watch for leaks, hopefully you didn't drive it far or for very long because that much overfilled puts great stress on your oil seals and your engine and can wear them out fast from the pressure and will create excessive heat. I would let Wal-mart know how you feel about it >
print this page and show them, thats what I would do.

**** goin back to wal-mart, I would take it as a life lesson. I'm not sure if you will get anywhere *****in at them, probably just a free oil change. Maybe they will strip the drain plug next?

find an old ruler tape measure, or something to gauge the depth when you take a picture.

Gallon | Quart
1 | 4
2 | 8
3 | 12
4 | 16
5 | 20

drove for about 20 mins on the high way. Didnt over heat or anything, to me it seemed smoother.

its always had a small leak probably 3 or 4 drops of oil a night, nothing huge. So far nothings wrong. I'm going to replace the fuel pump later in the week, having some trouble starting but i think once the pumps replaced it will be 100 percent. Then engine only has like 150k on it.
