Default Factory Overserviced Oil

Just did my first oil change today and was in the process of switching over to Amsoil. They(Amsoil) recommend using their flush before transitioning(yes, even in a new engine). I checked the dipstick to ascertain the oil level(warm/level ground) in order to not have too much oil installed, and found the level to be overserviced about 8 ounces. Not such a huge deal, however; better to change it out now at 2000 miles rather than waiting longer. I guess someone squeezed the oil lever at the factory a little long. Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe the factory worker was suffering from a bad hangover.... my truck was built the Monday after Thanksgiving.
