Unless you overfill the engine by an extreme amount, you will not notice any difference in how a motor runs which is overfilled a minor amount, as compared to a motor that has a correct amount of oil.
The true danger of overfilling an engine occurs when the oil level reaches the point where the crankshaft hits the engine oil and beats air into the oil. This creates foamy engine oil which does a very poor job of lubricating the engine.
(think of an egg beater)
That's when the engine damage can occur.

Drain out the excess oil and hope you did no damage. Unless you overfilled it by more than 1 quart you more than likely did not damage at all.

What do you do if you put the wrong oil in your car?
The answer to this depends on what kind of oil you are talking about. If you put a heavier weight oil (like 5 weight) in your car instead of say,30 weight, it will cause your car to act sluggish in the cold weather because the oil is thicker. If you put a lighter weight (30 weight ) in a vehicle that needs a heavier oil, the car will still run but not as well as using the correct type of oil. If you put transmission oil in your car's engine oil pan by mistake; you should empty out the oil pan immediately (when the oil and car are cold) and flush it or refill it with the correct oil as soon as you have realized it was the wrong oil.
Does the car need to be run before the oil is changed?
No, but it helps. Warm oil flows out much more easily.

If you put vegetable oil in a car that can use it would it be greener to use that car instead of a normal car?
You could use vegetable oil to run your car IF it is a diesel. It is not necessarily greener than diesel fuel due to the energy used to produce and transport the vegetable oil.

It should be fine, but you will need to drain the oil out to the correct level on the dipstick.
