I'm not mad at the guy...I just don't want him to make a simple mistake and possible spin a main or rod bearing on a pretty much new engine in a great looking sedan.

06silveryaris, this last weekend I ran my oil level about halfway between full and low (about 3.2 qts. with filter at the change) on the dipstick, and never saw any fluctuation in oil pressure. Running too much oil, especially on the track, can lead to a dangerous loss of the oil's cooling and lubricating abilitys due to foaming (Thanks for elaborating Tomago).
