3.0td too much oil

Not sure, but they dont put a "full" mark on the dipstick for the fun of it I'd imagine?
Just undo the sump plug and drain a little out?

not good mate,when i drain mine imake sure oil is at operating temp.let it drain over night,then measurein the correct amount,in my case 6.7liters with filter change(navara) 1 inch over full is asking for trouble,drain it fast.

I over filled mine once.

Was driving up a sand hill on Stockton and bogged down short of the top. Backing down the engine started running on its lubricating oil, lost power and started revving uncontrollably. The needle headed past redline and was still going when I turned off the ignition and tried to stall it in 3rd. Eventually it dug its self in and slowed then stalled in a huge cloud of smoke. My mates on the other side of the hill thought I had set it alight by the amount of smoke.

The engine was sucking oil through the crank case breather hose and it was then turning to mist in the turbo there for bypassing the injection system and running away. Scared the crap out of me.

Haven’t had a problem since though as now I always fill to the line.

Yep, drain it for all of the above, but also you don't won't your oil pressure too high causing added strain on main seals and rings etc.
