Errr, did you forget to take off the old oil filter? The filter holds nearly 1/2 quart, so, that'd put you around 1/2 over...

You should be good. If you put 6 quarts in it, and drained the old stuff, I don't see how you could have possible screwed up

I end up around 5 - 5.5 quarts on a oil and filter change to end up a touch under the "full" mark on the dipstick.
