Oil overfull????

My brother bought an 09 rzr with 838 miles on it. He rode it a couple of times, he pulled it into my garage and we drained the oil, drank a few beers, it had finished draining, put the plug back in and changed the filter. We then filled it with 2 quarts of Polaris oil. Started it up drank a beer and then shut it off. Drank a couple of beers then Checked the oil and it was 1/2" over full. He went ahead and rode about 40 miles. Checked oil and it is still overfull. He removed about 10 oz of oil to get it back to the full mark. His dipstick is identical to my father in laws 2010 rzr. Anyone had the same problem? I told him to put the right amount back in it, but not sure if that's right or wrong?

Yea they hold a little less than 2 quarts but most people I think just put the 2 quarts in them that is what I have done many times if I did not feel like getting it exactly at the mark.

I think it will be fine with 2 qts in it. I ran 2 qts in mine the 1st time I changed, and it didn't hurt anything. I don't think it's enough of an overfill to hurt anything.
