Slightly too much oil in a B20A

Hi

I accidentally tipped slightly too much 20/50 oil in my B20A.

It's been sat on level ground all day and it's showing no more than 2mm above the MAX line.

Smelling of oil when motoring but no blue smoke or loss of power.

Slap on the wrist or risk of burst seals???

Thanks

paah, go on Billy.
The engine will burn some oil anyway.
2mm is nothing to take care about. Nothing will happen if you don't go with 6500rpm, and yours is a automatic.
Happy driving in a Volvo, regards, Kay
