A little high should not cause a problem. If it's a lot over (1" or so) would be best to drain some out.This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0

Not that much over no.
But yes, too much oil causes pressure build up and can blow seals.0 -
That little amount will be fine, probably well within the design tolerences of the dipstick if truth be told!My Excel Mortgage Calculator Spreadsheet: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=11571730
