Question Dealer put in too much oil. what should I do?

I got an oil change at the dealer on Friday and I checked the oil level on Sunday. It was right above the "H", covering the whole letter plus a little more.

Would this create too much oil pressure or other problems? Should I try to get them to suck some oil out or just leave it?

If the cross-hatched area between L & H is 1 qt (not sure if this is true), then it looks like they added 1/4 quart too much.

You should be ok, doesn't sound like there's so much that it would cause a problem.

I would also like to know if this is true. I can't read a dipstick for the world.

You should be fine bro.....My rides usually come with a half quart too much from the factory with no issues.
Don't worry about it, but it's good to check in case it's too low.

Putting too much oil in your engine could cause the oil to foam. In other words if you have too much oil, the crankshaft could come in contact with the oil causing it to foam which will affect the lubricating properties of the oil. I would estimate that you would need at least a quart too much of oil to cause this condition, so you should be fine.

Thanks for the replies. We could definitively close this topic if Q45Tech would pop his head in here. Anyone have access to the bat, i mean Q45, signal?
