So is four quarts of Castrol 5w-30 way to much?? I checked it and it is over the full line a little bit , but not drastically.

It's not enough to really worry about.

but 3.5 to 3.7ish is what should be in there.

Yeah but going strictly by Toyota's recommended specs (whis I have no problem with doing I used 5W-30) I should need 4.3 quarts of oil in my Yaris instead of the 3.5-3.7 you recommend. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/goo...007yaris_s.pdf

I think it says more because that's actually a dry-fill, and you don't get it all out with an oil drain...some oil stays in the head, etc...even some oil stays in the pan if the drain plug isn't located on the bottom. Ever want to see how much oil stays in the engine try pulling an oil pump/oil pump housing...even the oil sending switch will be holding/blocking enough to put a big puddle of oil on the floor when removed.
