So I took a sniff of the dipstick and it definitely has a slight gasoline smell to it. Guessing I should take it back to my dealer?

I was just checking the oil level for the first time after purchase, followed the instructions in the manual (unscrew, clean dipstick, dip back in without screwing, pull out and check level) and the dipstick comes out and appears to have oil way up past where the "full" level of the dipstick is. Was this thing overfilled from the factory? Am I reinserting the dipstick wrong? Reading it wrong? Some other issue? Is this something to worry about?

I read through the whole manual and I don't think I saw a single mention of the maximum allowable/safe incline in either 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. Does anyone know what I can safely do with no load except passengers? I,ve got some trails on my property that exceed 20 degrees in some places.
