Is there something wrong with putting in too much oil?
Don't the garages or oil change shops already know this?

I am no mechanic, but as far as I know, too much oil can cause damage as the pressure would be high.
When I had my last oil change it took about 4 quarts (a little more than that). Just pour four in, put the cap back on, start the engine for a minute, shut the car off, and check the oil. If the dip-stick says full, you are good to go. If not, add more until it says full and then you are good to go.
