I put 4 1/2 of quarts of oil in my car and it looks like I could keep pouring oil
Did I put to much ???
What's the worst case that could happen if I topped it over ??

Owner's manual says 4.1qt for the 5sfe (with the filter)
Check your dipstick, having too much oil is a bad thing. Air can get into your oil if you have way too much, it'll stick to things and thrash your engine. 4.5 quarts should be safe though.
