Question oil change question?????

i drained my old oil, capped it, put a new filter on, then put 6 qts in my car (91 n/a) just like the manual says, but when i turned the car on, the oil level was a little high, and my oil pressure was acting really weird, would this be caused by too much oil, or me using a K&N oil filter? was i supposed to put 6 qts in? any quick way to get rid of oil other than draining it and putting new oil back in?
