Just let out some of the oil and get it to the right point! Too much oil can be worse than too little sometimes!

I buy 6 qts and i drain the motor and let it sit for 10 min then put 2 qts in and turn the motor over...Not start.Then i take the filter off and let it all drain for 10 min and then i put the plug on and new filter and fill her up i use a little less then 5 qts and that puts it right in the mid of both notches on the dip stick at then end of the day.

Just put in 4qts then let it sit then just add little at a time until it get up on the dip stick. after a day on the new oil check back on the dip stick for the next 2 or 3 days to make sure your motor didn't suck any in. Or if you have to much!

I change mine at 3000 miles and that is about a month or 2 months of driving for me.

I find the Flush Helps a lot! Pulls a lot of the trapped oil out of the small parts.
