Drain the oil and fill it to the proper level and consider this a lesson to always check the oil after an oil change before you drive off.

I'm thinking let them know what they did wrong, and possibly send them a bill if they've wrecked anything. I don't really expect much from them though.
My real worry is that i've wrecked some of my rings. Oh and what gets me is that its STILL overfilled after 1000 km's! It should have used a quarter of a litre or probably more since the oil change and it's still overfilled!

I know it's ridiculous, but i was due for an oil change it was 1000 km's back home.

I think i'm going to get it compression tested to see where i'm at. Any chance that it's just extra oil getting sucked into the intake from the pcv valve?
Even then though, the smoke was black, not blue, so...
