Ehhh. The owner's manuals are written by lawyers and corporate hacks as much as engineers. Any single one warning in the manual has a mix of all three agendas, and it's tough to know the respective proportions ;)

And I realize the OP was 3 qts over. That much is a no-brainer problem.
Ur probably correct. It's also known as the 'weasel clause'. 50% more oil is...'gross negligence' on the part of the owner.

Cheapest I found was $1800 but that motor looked a bit rough.

I also have a hard time letting go of an engine that I've taken care of for 40k+ miles, and I'd like to take at least take a crack at fixing it before I give up all hope

If you decide to rebuild, I have complete internals from a 10,000 mile engine that were removed for a supercharger upgrade. This includes crank, rods, bearings, pistons, rings, cam chains, phasers, oil pump, pump pickup, oil pan and probably more. I'd let it all go cheap if you need it. Just something to keep in mind. Good luck.
