oh well wait a sec, if you run your engine right now until she warms up a bit, then took the reading would it be below the line? if so you are spot on. you will almost always be "overfilled" if you are looking at the window without warming her up. you are supposed to take the reading with a warmed up engine
if you really need to drain some oil, just pull the drain plug out but only until she leaks a bit. then you can just sit and watch the paint dry. i mean oil drip.
