Thanks

Thanks guys for your input!!! This morning I I took a ride around the block and no white smoke. I drained ~3 quarts out and still no white smoke. I'll keep an eye out and will likely change filters as I'm guessing is saturated. Hoping no damage was done!!!

What? No.

Start all over. Drain all the oil, and replace with the correct amount before driving this car any more.

+1+1+1

You are playing Russian Roulette arbitrarily adding and removing oil.
The Filter will be saturated. It is suppose to, it sits in oil and oil flows through it.
You need to start from a know baseline, new filter, new oil, filled to the correct level on the dip stick

You'll sleep better
