I put in 2 gal and my dash meter is showing completely full.
Do I need to try to drain some out or am I ok?

Thanks

How long did you allow the oil to drain? was the P car level when the oil was drained?
Some let the oil drain overnite; others let it take an hour or so for a complete drain.
It is possible not all the oil drained, but if it did and you put in .05 less than the prescribed manual states you should be fine.
