Then I drove 10-15 min to Walmart, went in, got oil, walked out & checked the level... It's at high point.
Still gonna go to the shop this afternoon.

You do understand you have to check it while the engine is cold? preferably in the morning. When it heats up, it thins out and films all the motor components. It takes a while for the oil to cool down and gravity kicks it back into the oil pan.
