Ok I just finished removing the excess oil. Hopefully nobody will be so foolish as I to do this in the future, but if you happen to find yourself in this situation in the future, I have a few thoughts on this process:
1) Be extremely careful while unscrewing the drain plug, use both hands. If you happen to drop the drain plug in the oil catchment basin, then you'll loose all your oil.
2) It's quite tricky to re-thread the drain plug while oil is gushing all over your hands. There appears to be about a million ways to mis-thread the drain plug back in. And while you are trying to quickly re-thread the drain plug, it can be very challenging to find the correct angle to align the threads so that the drain plug while properly re-seat.
3) However don't worry, while all that oil is gushing by your hands while you're trying to re-seat the drain plug, you're actually not removing nearly as much oil as you think.
4) I had to do this process 7 times in order to remove what ended up being the excess quart that I had added. (Yes, yes I know I'm wasting money, I just threw out a quart of brand new synthetic! As a great man once told me PAY ATTENTION.)
5) While your fiddling with the drain plug, oil will be gushing all over your hands and partially down your arms, so it may exceed the edge of the oil catchment basin; plan accordingly.
6) Fire up the engine after you've removed some oil and then shut it down to take an oil measurement. This will give you a more accurate oil level reading.
Good luck.
