100 ml oil + in engine

Overfilling the engine oil on any modern engine runs the risk of foaming the oil and causing engine damage. I don't know if the amount you overfilled is a problem, but I would drain some out...it's very easy.

+1. that's exactly what I do. and usually, the level ends up right at the top of the window. I've done it this way every oil change for 5 seasons, and so far no issues.

I dump in 4 quarts, start and run it for 5 minutes, then check the level after it has sat for 5 minutes. I then add carefully to the full mark...it takes about another 1/10 quart. You're fine with just 4 quarts, it's between the marks, but I'm kind of **** about the fill level during oil changes.
