2009 Yaris, Too Much Oil....Help

Hi all,

Today is my first time doing oil change by myself. It took me a long time as the manual image doesn't match to my yaris bottom. Long story short. I follow an online instruction to start filling with 3 quarter and then turn on my engine for 2 mins. After that, check the dipstick. Due to my lack of experience enough, every time reading the dipstick I can only see oil at the tip. Hence, I fill it up to 4 and a half bottle of quarter size bottle.

I feel weird since it seems oil is still at the tip of dipstick. I looked at the manual and found out that engine plus oil filter, it's about 3.9 quarter to get full. That means I filled half quarter extra....Does it cause any damage? How can I slowly drain / pump some oil out if necessary?

Thanks,

Ricky
