    There's no way an inch over the top "full" dot was only 0.3 qt. Overfilled. They lied to cover their butts.

    Yup, this. Although it is a small engine, who knows. If you did damage, you would have had blue exhaust.

    No blue exhaust, it's not foaming, no damage done. Not great, but not bad.

    By a cheap siphon and siphon out the extra 6 quarts before leaving the dealership. You'll have enough oil for your next two oil changes!
