I put in 3 quarts after draining it, and it seemed like it was too full already by looking at the dipstick.

Change the oil and filter, dump in 3.5 quarts of oil, run the engine a short while, then let it sit for at least 30 minutes. The level shown on the dipstick is your target, regardless of what the markings say. If the dipstick is 1/4" too long for some reason, it will read higher, but that doesn't mean you have too much oil in the crankcase now does it?
