overfilled oil
Changed oil and filter. Refilled with proper amount according to owners manual. Took an hour drive. Let oil settle. Checked and dipstick says too much oil. Looks like about a half quart or so over. Haven't noticed any foaming. Should I drain some to get to proper level?

keep checking. If it get higher you have a water ingress problem, either gasket or block. Has the dipstick been modified? Having too much oil can cause problems with bearings and seals, although 1/2 qt probably is not a problem. If you added 1 qt for the filter, that is probably too much.

It's a 6 cylinder, 200 cu in. Manual calls for 4 1/2 quarts (including filter). I installed a K&N filter # HP-3001. Same size as previous filter. Used same amount of oil to refill as last time. Dipstick hasn't been modified or changed.
