I just did my own oil change, put in 4 1/2 qts but oil level is at min line....

the manual says that the engine capacity is 4.4 qts.... but i just put in 4.5 qts and let the car sit overnight, checked the oil level, and its at the bottom minimum line...

Just add oil until the level reaches the top fill line. It's how you should do it anyway.

Car takes 5 qts and you probably didn't fill the oil filter before you put it on....
