Oil levels

[MahindraPete]

I always follow the instructions regarding the amount of oil required during an oil and filter change (5570 model). However the dip stick always indicates too much oil. No big deal or something to worry about?

I change oil engine warm and let it drain overnight. I'm guessing all of the oil didn't drain out. I wouldn't want it much overfilled, but barely above full no concern.
Is it over full after engine started & circulated?

Just ran it a few minutes but it was still a bit high after that. Think I’ll try to suction out some oil just to be sure. Thanks for your response.

The oil capacity given in the specs is for a new engine. All the oil never drains our unless the engine is disassembled. Go by the dipstick.
