    I know it's probably redundant but I have to ask, is the motor running when you're checking the oil level? Motor needs be off (not running) when you're checking the oil level, if the motor is running you may be able to get 9 qts in a 5 qt system.
    Sorry, don't mean to insult.

    No offense taken, it’s a legitimate question.

    Motor is off, sitting level, has been started so the filter is full, I put oil in both valve covers, and the returns are not clogged.
