You have either put too much oil into the engine or you may have a leak in your cylinder head gasket which is allowing coolant water into the oil - (if this is happening then you will see the water levels going down and perhaps a salad cream colored deposit collecting where you fill the engine with oil.
Three conditions why the oil stick would read too full: (1) too much oil was added; (2) gasoline is getting into the oil; (3) water is getting into the oil. When you check the oil level, smell the oil for a gasoline smell or look for water beads on the dipstick and check the color of the oil. If it is chocolate-colored, there is water in the oil. In either case of gasoline or water in the oil, some repairs will have to be made. If it is just a case of too much oil, you need to drain some out.

How do you read the oil dip stick?
Oil level should be taken when the engine has stood still for some time, better over night, to allow oil in the upper level to sink back into the oil sump. Wipe the dip stick and push it into the pipe from which it had been removed initially. Pull the dip stick out and inspect the oil level. There should be a minimum and a maximum level marked on the dip stick. If the oil level is near the minimum mark, add more oil, but don't pour too much oil in.
