Just drop the extra oil dude (or all of it) and start again, Its only gonna cost you a few $$$, if that.

Just drain it. Leave your filter alone as you won't need to change that.

Sometimes the extra oil will burn off, but I still would not feel comfortable with too much in there. Better too little than too much, in reality.
