I think what I might do is remove the filter cannister and dump it, reinstall it and then see where the meter reads.

Hi,
An easy way to correct an overfill is to get some tubing and a MityVac and extract the excess oil through the dipstick tube. This works quite well, ask me how I know. Good Luck!...
