Default Overfilled Oil dangerous??

I know its probably not a big deal but i took my 350 in for an oil change today and they overfilled it a little bit over the high mark. Should i be worried about too much pressure when running high rpms? I know owner manuals say that this can harm the motor but i would hope they they leave room for error...

generally a little over should be no problem. (maybe a quart over or so). Excessive amount motor oil can cause foaming (crankshaft whipping your motor oil).

solution: DIY oil change
