So , I’ve done most of my oil changes on my 2014 1LE-LS3 SS.. Today I’m not sure if I added an extra QT ?!?! I’m also using a WIX filter witch is twice the size of the stock one !!! Will I be ok ? Or should I drain some out !! Of course I’m out with the wife who was busting my chops about going out for dinner ! As this is my daily.. So I’m driving the car but I’m not beating on it .. Babing it . So I don’t hurt it . Any advice will help thanks

Remove and drain the oil filter and re-install.

Always beats a spun rod bearing due to windage and aerated oil. Unlikely from 1 extra quart, but it's always better safe than sorry.
