Foamy oil doesn't pressurize like straight liquid. That extra quart will find its way out of any little crevice, or it will get pulled through the road draft tube. Once the level drops enough to keep the rods from whipping it up, the leakage and/or oil burning stops. I'd suggest doing a 5 qt. oil change, not 6, and marking the dipstick accordingly. The filter canister won't hold a full quart- - - -the metering orfice in the standpipe will let almost half the oil in the filter canister gravity drain back into the oil pan when the engine stops. jerry
