My oil was overfilled. How much is too much?

The oil extractors sucks. Not only literally.
Losening one bolt is faster, gets more old oil out, gets out any debris sitting in the bottom of the oil pan. You have to remove oil filter anyway.
It is a bit dirty job, yes. But nothing that a piece of plastic underneath the car (plus gloves) cannot solve.

Agree that slipping under the car and draining out a bit is the best approach. My extractor does come in very handy though for quick fluid removal without the need to jack and jackstand the car. I would never do an oil change this way as as you mention, the filter has to be changed.
