Default Idiot Light Question

I have a "message" that came on my dash today where my Tripometer is. It looks like an oil can with the word HI next to it. I am assuming it means high oil pressure. I have looked in the owner's manual and can't find what the exact meaning is. Has anyone seen this before? If this high oil pressure, what should I be looking at to resolve it?

Its telling you that your oil level is to high. The fix is to drain oil level to proper level.

Drain some oil out of that thing ASAP. It's better to run a quart too low than a quart too high because when its high the rotating parts will contact the oil and cause it to foam and become basically useless to you. Engines have been know to quit unexpectedly under such circumstances.

It is telling you the level not the pressure is HIGH.
Level the car and check the stick.

I live 45 min outside of Orlando. Unfortunately I am coaching soccer all day. I'll check out to see where and when you are meeting. I'd love to go.
