Too Much Oil, and CEL turned on.

So I'm kinda new to the whole honda thing, my cousin recently convinced me to get a 99 ek, and so i did, so being the "Do it yourself type" i did my first recent oil change, and we put in a little more than normal an drove it around to let the oil move around in the motor, and my cel turns on, after draining and putting in the proper amount my cel is still on, so my question is should i be worried about anything or should i let it wait a few days for it to turn off or whats goody. thanks.

And the motor is a d16y8

Re: Too Much Oil, and CEL turned on.

disconnect the battery terminals for a minute to reset the cel and see if it goes away, if it doesnt most parts stores will read the code for you for free.
