Is it OK to be a little over on oil?
If the oil level is a little above the full mark, that shouldn’t cause problems. If it’s overfilled by half a quart or more, or foam shows on the dipstick, the best fix is to have the oil drained and refilled to the proper level.

There is no need for action if the engine oil level is slightly above the max-level. But if you have filled it 0.3″ or more above the sign, it can cause severe damage to your engine. The engine oil reserve holds some extra oil to compensate for the fluid expansion due to hot conditions.
What happens when the oil does not compress?
Since the oil will not compress this means that something is likely going to give. This can range from an engine locking up suddenly and suffering little or no damage to something major like a bent or broken connnecting rod. Higher RPMs on the highway is when this most likely would occur.
