too much oil in the engine

[gsnake]

I have my 4Runner (4L, 2007) for a few months now. When I bought it I went to the dealer for a service. They have changed the oil (although I did not ask them to do that). So, they put the regular mineral oil. I thought - ok, next time I will do it myself and change to synthetic.
So, finally the time came and I have changed the oil to Mobil 1. All good, no issues, etc. But I have noticed that the amount of old oil that came out was at least a liter more than it should be! So, the dealership just overfilled the engine (the same happened to my other car - Honda when I went to a dealer).. I am sure for 4 liter engine this was probably not a big deal but .. curious what you guys think.. and why these 'professionals' put more oil?

Is it full on the dipstick now (just wondering because the difference between L and H on the dipstick is ~1 qt.)? I'll bet they didn't change the filter (which will leave ~ 1/2 qt. in the system) and then they probably put the full specified amount in. Either way, you'd know if the overfilling blew a seal by now so I'm sure your ok as long as you don't have any puddles under the truck.

It is in the middle of the dipstick now.. it is not easy to see the exact level - I tried a few times but it is not clear what the level is..
No broken seals (I hope) yet but that was my last time changing the oil at a dealership.
