Engine Oil Overfill

[homesick]

Is there a reason that has not already been done?

A magnetic plug requires no extra brains or work [off the top of my head].

Hell, set up a magnet on the oil filter and have a magnetic drain plug.

Hey all. I drove home from a regular oil change and didn't notice anything unusual but next day saw oil level was a little high (at about the R in "OPERATING RANGE" on dipstick, see picture). Service invoice says 6qt went in. Took a short drive, pressure seemed higher than normal (about 50psi), slowly dropped to around 25psi steady as truck warmed up. Should I be worried, try to drain some out? THANK YOU!

You had this done at an oil change shop?? Why should you get your hands dirty and possible make a huge mess in you driveway. Take it back and make them fix it.
