Austin, when you changed the oil, did you also change the filter? If not, then when you added the 4qt of oil the total oil volume (added oil + oil still in old filter) may account for the excess volume. If you did change the filter, then I've no idea what happened ;O)
My '90 900S has ~155k on it and no coolant probs yet. If you're not loosing coolant, then don't lose sleep over it (monitor the resevoir tank over time for volume or bubbling; check it each time at the same temp because temp changes the amt. in the tank, remember). I don't know what the "typical" age is for head gasket failure on that engine, sorry. Good luck.
