Dealership in CT? Overfilled oil…

Hello all!

I picked up a 26 Z06 a month ago and have about 1100 miles on the clock. I’ve noticed the engine has a lot of valve train noise so decided to check the oil level. It’s been overfilled… Do any of you have a trusted dealership you go to in CT? (I live in Stamford, CT)

This is my first post—please go easy on me!

But, the experts will be chiming in here soon.
