4 quarts over full is not safe for your engine, that is almost twice the amount that it calls for. that much oil will cause more pressure on your oil seals, and could cause a severe leak that is an expensive fix.

6 quartz use Mobile and it will help your engine last longer mobil 1 is ok up to 75k miles but if you have more or a light oil leak it can actually cause it to leak more. in fact any full synthetic oil will leak due to its not as thick. on a jeep any regular oil at 5w30 or 10w30 will work

How many quarts of oil does a 2004 Mazda 6 with a 3.0 engine take?
Owner's manual for 2004 Mazda6, page 10-4, for V-6: * with filter change 6.0 US quarts * without filter change 5.5 US quarts. Page 8-10 specifies use of 5W-20 SL oil. Be careful not to overfill. For oil change, add 5 quarts, start engine, verify the engine oil pressure warning wight goes out after a few seconds, allow engine to warm-up, turn engine off, wait 5 minutes and recheck oil level. Add oil up to the FULL or MAX mark on the dipstick (oil level is OK between the LOW and FULL (or MIN and MAX) marks. Being near the full or max mark on the dipstick is better (because it gives you a little longer to identify and respond to a problem causing loss of oil and minimizes the risk of running low on oil).
How much oil does it take for a 2002 Honda civic?
More than likely it is 4 to 4.5 quarts with a filter change. But to make sure do this. Park the vehicle on a perfectly level surface. Drain the oil and install a new filter. Pour in 4 quarts of oil and start the engine. Let it run for 1 minute and then shut down. Wait one hour and then check the oil level. Add oil as necessary to fill it to the full mark. Keep track of how much oil you added. You now know the capacity. Caution: DO NOT OVERFILLActually, if you check your owner's manual, It says 3.4-3-7 quarts with oil filter change, depending on how much oil is still in engine (the engine still has some oil left in it after draining. If the engine is completely oil-less-dry, then 4-4.5 quarts is probably ok, but that is rarely the case.) I just did an oil change including filter on my 01 civic LX and it took about 3.4 quarts to fill to top line on dip stick. I was very careful to measure it as I was using a 5-quart container and didn't want to over fill. Had i used 4-4.5 quarts it would have been over-filled and probably caused serious problems with seals, oil pressure oil, leaks, etc.

Will it harm your truck to have a little to much oil in it 1 qrt or so. Fixed after noticing it after a few days?
It's not recommended to overfill the crankcase, but probably did no damage. The raised oil level can put a little extra pressure on the main bearing oil seals. If the engine isn't leaking oil, you're ok.
