Engine Oil overfill

[Jakster]

I was told by my Dad that my 1999 Ford Explorer XLT sohc V6 had an Oil leak. I checked the oil it seemed to barely register on stick. I added a quart of oil and now seems overfull. I have read this could be dangerous. Photos attached

Give it time to settle
Wipe the stick and try again
See if you can get a good reading

1 quart overfull will only be a little above the top dot and not going to harm anything

Your oil level looks to be waaaaay above the top dot. If that is the case you need to drain some oil out
This engine holds 5 quarts
