First determine whether this is a correct or incorrect warning.

I make the assumption that your age of vehicle still had a dipstick for checking oil level manually.

Park car on level ground and check level with dipstick. see handbook.
If it is overfull this can cause damage to the engine breathing system and the level should be reduced to the correct maximum level.
