How to you guys suggest I fix this without draining everything and starting over?
Remove the filter and suck out what's left. Do it a couple times, running the engine briefly between. See my photo of the oil in the filter housing here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...3&postcount=15.

Electronic level reading sucks.
