I at least would call the dealer and see what they’re willing to do (i.e. sucking some oil out via dipstick tube). But honestly I have seen this, dealers seem to be overfilling the oil all the time, happened to my 2018 Toyota Yaris iA (Mazda2 in disguise), which has 2-year free maintenance program by Toyota, every time the dealer did the oil change. But there’s no ill-effect, at least in short-term. One time even saved the engine when the drain plug developed a slow leak in a long road trip right after an oil change.Had the car in Thursday morning for it's second oil change. Checked the oil level today, it's about 1/2 inch above the full mark. Is it too much or is it OK?

I believe the tolerance of oil level is bigger than we thought. Overfill happens all the time on oil change at the dealership and we’ve never heard any foaming issue which damaged the engine.No. You'd need like 7.5-8qt to reach the crankshaft. 6 wouldn't even reach the balancing shaft. 6.5 likely would. Since a shop did it, you could probably get it addressed for your time only...If I did it myself, I wouldn't bother.

Cold. Sat overnight. Checked in garage on level floor.How did you check the oil? Warm engine or cold?
It doesn’t make too much difference when you check the oil level AT LEAST 5 minutes after engine shutting off, or the old fashioned way checking the oil level the first thing in the morning before the engine start. The good part for latter is you can see the oil mark on dipstick much easier without even a wipe to the dipstick.How did you check the oil? Warm engine or cold?
