Unless someone can tell you with 100% certainty how much room for error there is in an SV, the wise move is to drain the oil out and top it back off. If the oil is fresh, you can drain it and put it right back in (using the correct amount, of course).

yup.... even better idea!
drain the oil into a clean container!!!... then pour the correct amount back in... use the rest to dump on those damn cats
