I know it didn't look level, but it was. My driveway slopes down towards the garage enough that, on the ramps, it is level, and slightly angled towards the drain. I removed the filter before draining fully, as well as the filler cap. As you can see in the photos I did use a syringe to pull excess oil from inside the filter housing.

Hopefully the slight, no more than .5 quart, overfill isn't an issue, if indeed it is overfilled.
