I would drain off a qt if it was me. You don't want the rotating assembly making contact with the level of oil because it will whip the oil into a froth reducing the oil's ability to lubricate properly.

Can an extra quart of engine oil hurt my engine?
It's not ideal, but whether it will actually hurt or not depends on the specific design of the engine. Some engine designs can tolerate excess oil better than others. The most likely problem is that the level of the oil will get too close to the moving parts in the engine, which can result in air being "whipped" into the oil. This is a bad thing for several reasons, not least because the air can get sucked into the pump resulting in "dry" spots in the oil lines.On many cars, the optimum oil level is marked on the dipstick as a range rather than a specific line. A quart over the bottom of the fill zone is almost certainly not a problem. A quart over the top is more worrisome.

What effect will a quart too much of engine oil have on a 2003 Toyota Camry with a 2az-fe 4 cylinder engine?
