More Oil Than Filled -coolant top off

Was just adding more washer fluid to the X last night

Since I had the hood up, I figuered I would check fluids

Oil seems about 1 QT higher than when I filled it up. I think...
In looking at the records, i changed the oil back in Aug 2015.
I must have wiped the dipstick 4X and took 4 measurements as I thought my eyes were going bad. But the oil reading is above the ~bulb~ of the dipstick.
Car's been running like a champ though....


BTW, how often are you guys topping off coolant in your rides...
I've done it throughout the years....
I sorta stopped keeping a mechanical record of things on the X, but do keep on them. If memory recalls, I changed out the reservoir about a year, maybe a year and a half ago. Since day 1 of ownershop, valley pan has been dealt with 2X already.

Anyhow, presume the level was on the high mark on the reservoir tube back in fall. Between then and today, I topped off another 22 oz. How normal or not do you think this is.....(back of my mind is saying, no more VP jobs).

---Post Update---

Just remembered I did a alt swap late fall. I suppose maybe that's where the coolant level went...
