Checking Oil on International 656

I just bought an IH 656 and when I checked the oil I noticed it was overfull. I bought it from a IH dealer but would like to know if I should be pushing the dipstick all the way in when checking or just until the rubber piece hits the top of the tube. Any information will be appreicated.
 
Do you check it after running a while or when cool? I don't know if it should be overfull to account for the filter or not. Thank you.
 
Well with our 674 I put it down all the way. I doesn't matter if it is warm or not. The filter will have the oil it has once it has ran at all.. I would see if you can syphone some out to see if it is milky. I was checking our 674 one day while changing the Altinator and it was high.. Took a sample out and it was milky. There was a seal around the sleave that let go and dumped coolant into the oil and that is why it was high.. Plus if it is a Diesel use only approved coolant and oil for a diesel, that way it has all the additives in it..
 
Farmall JD has a point I would like to know why it is high. The 666/686 used the D312 - smaller sister to the D-414/436/466 that could develope pinholes in the cylinder sleves. Don't think the D-282 had the problem as bad as the D-312.

The solution to the sleve problem was to add DCA4 to the coolant and a water filter on the D-414/436/466.

If the oil is milky at all take the tractor back as new sleves (engine overhaul) will cost you a few thousand in parts alone. Also, the sleve pinholes we're at the bottom of the sleves and don't effect engine performance. Yes the water will quickly kill the engine.
