Default 90 Accord EX 2.2 Auto ? about oil Overfilled

Hello I have a 90 Accord EX 2.2 Auto and have slightly overfilled my oil. My question is how much is too full to where you need to let some out? On the dipstick I am about half the size of a penny overfull. A dime is 1/4 of a inch so it would be closer to half of a dime or 1/4 of a inch. Is that something I should be worried/alarmed about and need to drain some oil or is that okay? How much overfull is too much please advise me here thanks.

Its not a big deal, but that depends on who you ask. When you have too much oil sitting above the crankshaft, it will beat it into foam, causing a less than desirable lubrication. I would drain it, it takes only a few minutes anyways.
