Oil Level Too High

A few days ago I noticed my oil level was a couple of bars low on the electronic device on the dash, and since I had a a litre of Mobil 1 0-40 I topped up with some from the container. I re-checked and thought it was still a bit low, and since there only about a third left remaining in the bottle, I put the rest in.

Now it's showing a bit 'over-full' !! It's not smoking at the exhaust , but I'm wondering if it might cause over-pressure in the crankcase...... or worse!!

1 quart too much is not going to hurt anything. If you put way too much oil in then it can get drawn into the intake system and you will see a lot of smoke right away. The crankcase is vented.
