Too much oil?! 700

Hey all,

What damage would happen with too much oil in the crankcase? I had my 780 in a Volvo specialty shop for some convoluted seat repair. While in there, I asked them to change the oil. They did - and put 5 quarts in a B230FT! I didn't realize it until I went to check the oil before a trip tomorrow. It was over full so I went back to the repair ticket and looked closely - yep, 5 quarts.

I have already driven it 60 miles at up to 70 mph. However, I'm thinking that this will cause excess pressure and blow the seals out. Am I wrong? Should I drain a quart of oil before leaving on the trip or is this no problem?

Thanks in advance!

Patrick
