Does your engine feel sluggish now? These engines can handle some overfill, but sometimes you can feel it when they are (does not rev as freely, might "shudder" some on start up). By the way, are you checking the level after driving for a while to warm everything up?

As MM mentioned, too much and too little are both bad for your engine. I would definitely have your oil sensor checked out.

P.S. It can be a pain to drain these engines. I let mine drain for 30 minutes or more, and still only get out around 6-6.5 quarts of oil.
