Ok..procedure is as follows..

-Wait for your car to cool down fully(do it when you get up in the morning for work/school/gym/etc)
-Make sure car is on level ground(uneven ground will make you have a wrong reading)
-Open your hood(unless you are super skilled to do it with it closed)
-Get a napkin or rag that u dont care about.
-Pull out the oil dipstick.
-Wipe it clean
-Put it back in till it stops.
-Pull it back out.
-Look at the end now.
-If its above the two dots like yours, you need to drain a little of that oil out.
-If its in between the two dots, your fine.
-If its below the two dots, add a quart.

Note: I have heard that too much oil in your engine will blow seals, not sure how true this is.
