Unless someone put too much oil in the engine then we need to find where the oil is coming from. More than likely you have a leaking injector causing it to put fuel in the oil and it starts to overfill. Does the oil smell like gas? If so, then this is the likely issue.

Here are some guides that will help with changing the oil. Also, a video of a similar vehicle.
