Definitely drain some. I personally prefer to have the level just below the full mark.

Keep in mind overfilling the oil level causes AOS failures.

This thread reminded me that my oil level was low- halfway between full and min. on the guage which I did on the last oil change. So be extra careful to avoid overfilling as it does not take much to overfill it. Yesterday I put a pint in and it moved the guage level to about 2 more bars. It is so easy to overfill it.

That's what I've used successfully. Takes a a couple of minutes without having to get under the car. But, if it's a bad idea, I certainly don't want to cause anyone a problem.
