so how much did you overfill exactly and curious as to why it impacted the idle speed?

I let the car drain for an extended period of time to try and clear the air bubbles caused by the overfill. When I drained the oil, there were a LOT of air bubbles. I then had to pull the battery cable to reset the ecu.
Due to all of this, I no longer ever fill to the Full line.
