Added way too much oil, am i ok?
 
added way to much oil. car was only driven maybe a quarter of a mile the the store and back. i realized it added way to much and drained it back to the right amount. i looked at the MAF and it doesn't seem to be coated at all, but the intake piping it screws into has a slight residue of oil in it, and the air filter has a small amount in a few places. what do i need to do?

(brand new to rx8's, learning as i go)

wipe out the oil and carry on. Pay attention to your idle. If you find you're having issues, clean the maf and reset the ecu.

Hmmm a quick search for overfill reveals a fair bit. This one has pictures https://www.rx8club.com/series-ii-technical-trouble-shooting-160/oil-overfilled-oil-intake-194560/
