i Just had an oil change at a local shop for my 2010 softail classic and when i ran it on the highway for two days i noticed it made a weird sound like my air filter needed to be changed so i went to change the filter and noticed oil behind the filter, i also noticed oil ran down the oil tank under my dipstick, my question is did i damage anything on the bike like blow my seals and is my bike going to need costly repair? i think the kid that did the oil change put in too much oil, can this be fixed? and is my bike going to be ok?

I apologize for my ignorance, but this is my first big twin. I read the service manual and changed my fluids. I put in 3.5 quarts of oil as per the manual. (TC88). When I check it as per the manual, it's about midway between add and full. Is this right/normal? Should I be running 4 quarts?
I would recommend you go with 3.5 qts.
