How you over filled it ?? Sounds like too much oil pressure.
Check the crank case breather pipe isnt blocked or spitting oil too.

So it was running fine until you changed the oil and oil filter ??
After running, is the oil level correct ??
Its a very unlikey that an oil change can lead to your running problems.
I suppose its possible that you can installed the oil filter incorrectly, or maybe have an airlock in the oil system which could be causing these issues.
You done anything else ??
