4 quarts is too much. Mine always tops out just short of 3.7 quarts, and yes I have some sludge but your going to be high with a full 4.
incidently, how high is the oil? Like really high or just over the mark?

I've had the same problem on some other cars, but not my Audi.

Yes, it was substantially off. On my '93 Mustang, I'd say 3/8 to 1/2 inch over the fill mark. When I asked around, I was told go by the manufacturers specs, not the dipstick. I never noticed any windage at higher RPMs, or blue smoke out the tailpipe, so I figured I was o.k. I had the same problem with a couple of older cars.
