if you have too much oil you can push seals out, it's not a good thing. if you are barely over, it's not a biggie but like .5+ quarts i would drain it to you get to the right ammt.

I put 0.5 quarts over once, got paranoid and drained it out though.

All I know is whenever I do an oil change that putting 3 quarts in afterwards will put the oil level on the dipstick just below the top mark. I just check the dipstick as a force of habit.
