My car was oil changed last week.
I checked the dipstick yesterday (parking outside whole night), just found the oil level above max mark around 5mm( drowning that small triangle).

Not to make you worried, but I believe somewhere in the manual it says that an overfilled engine can cause engine damage! In truth, though, like blurred said, you're so little over the full mark I wouldn't even worry about. But, if it bothers you, take it back to where the oil change was done.

Mine is similar to yours. I'm not worried about it. I did full synthetic and for the life of me could not read the dang dipstick when the oil was brand new! Seriously, held the dipstick under a LED light and could not read it. I hate the dipsticks in these cars.
If you guys are having such trouble reading the dipstick, try the ol' napkin trick!
Just dab the dipstick on a flat paper towel or something, spin the dipstick away from the dab and it'll tell you the level. Seems crude but works in a pinch.

The added pressure under WOT or hard driving can blow out the seals, but I've never had it happen and I've had it overfilled before by 3rd parties. Now I just take my car to Ford and they always get it right. I have a good dealer.
Like CriticalmassGT said, it can blow a seal. Little did I know a quick change place overfilled me. The level was about a half inch above the top level. Long story short, when it's over-filled, the oil can't drain from the turbo, and with the added pressure it kills the seal and causes an oil leak into your exhaust.

so I recently bought a 2016 fiesta st I did an oil change at 4000 miles using mobile 1 full synthetic. my car now has 5000 miles on it I checked the oil today and also checked to make sure the vehicle didn't have any blow by in the top end. I removed the oil cap while the engine was running and put my hand over where the oil cap would be. and I did in fact feel some pressure coming through. I don't run the car hard and I was just wondering if this was normal. im very concerned about this and was wondering if anyone else has ran into / heard of this before. a response would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Seriously!? I was freaking the heck out. I was always told there should be little to absolutely 0 blow by. I also noticed that when I pulled the cap very very faint white steam was coming from the cap. Is that normal as well?
