If it's any more than slightly over the Full mark, I'd go ahead and let a little out as soon as you can. I did that recently to get my car down to the mid-way point advocated by Wayne and a few folks here. I'd always been the type to top everything off, before. Probably really easy for the folks with Fumomo valves.

Now that I have instrumentation, it's amazing how much my instantaneous MPG is improved toward the end of a batch of errands as compared to the beginning. We talk about avoiding coolant temps high enough to trigger the power-sucking radiator fans, but I sometimes wonder if it would be worth it to risk more occasional fan cycles if it meant the oil reached operating temp faster, especially in winter. I need to do some more reading on that...
