it really doesnt look bad (i ran oil change shops for 10 yrs and have seen a lot of milkshake oil) it looks like oil and smells normal. i changed the oil myself 3 wks ago and know for a fact i didnt overfill. 6 qts w filter. and i know it always shows a tad over the "full" mark. and i checked it after i was done. it now is well past where it was 3 wks ago.
