Hi there,
From my experience, Nissans don't usually hold much oil. I can't find the exact specs for your car. But found a similar vehicle with the same engine and it takes 3.9 ltrs.
Your best bet is to take it to a mechanic and ask them to recheck the oil level, and drain out some if necessary to reach the full mark on the dipstick, with out being overfull.
The 3.9 ltrs would be only if you changed the engine oil and oil filter and the system was empty of oil.
If it was a top up, then it should have only required 1 or 2 ltrs.
Note: It is very serious if the engine is that overfull, and could cause damage and oil leaks if not checked and drained.
