If its got too much on the dipstick then drain some out.
Too much is as bad as too little!

put a pressure tester (gauge) in the oil system, they screw into the oil pressure sensor hole to check the pressure, better than buggering your engine, fuel can only get in your oil if you have a mechical fuel pump which runs of a cam at the bottom of the engine. they can leak back thou but it's rare. hope this has helped any
