Hey Ya'll, I'd like some opinions on this little predicament I'm having here.

I did a regular oil change and filter with 6 quarts of 10w 30 in my 98 TJ 4.0. I checked it when I changed it and all was good. I went to work and then came back and filled her up with gas and checked it again, it's about 1/2 a quart over. By the DO NOT OVERFILL LINE.

Should I be worried and try an drain some? Or am I fine worrying about something dumb? Thanks 👍🏻
 
It should be OK. There is a YouTube video what happens when you overfill engine with oil. Half quart will be OK. If you have a leaky RMS it might leak more. I did the same thing first time I changed oil on my TJ. Drained everything and replaced oil filter. I put in 6 quarts and it was overfilled.
Now I do 5.5 quarts and it's to the max marking.
