if you have too much oil in there, things can really get screwed up.

It is very difficult read compared to other cars. I simple pull out the stick and try to get the stick horizontal as soon as possible (same with my women). Then turn the correct side up to read the fill lines on the stick. There usually is a little residual oil left on the edge of the stick that will be up higher than the actual oil line on the stick. Good luck.

If you have excessive oil in the car, you need to drain some out immediately. Open up the drain plug a little until some oil starts seeping out, just don't remove the drainplug completely or you will be very sorry.
