Overfilled oil - how to remove oil easiest
 

Any ideas how i can quickly suck out the oil from the dipstick?

Which cheap tool is best? Amazon reviews say the tube is too thick that comes with the suction devices.

Not in any position to get the car in the air you see, other than a garage and labour time


thanks

Pela vacuum oil extractor

hmm £50 though.. probably cheaper to drive to a garage

then again... is the oil dfilter on the top of te engine? coul dbe good for a mid year oilchange

how much overfilled ? a little bit wont matter, although lots will.


reminds me of a mate of mine, always high spirits, does stuff then maybe thinks about it afterwards. He changed the oil on his old vauxhall. Couldnt understand why it belched smoke and ran like an old tractor, sometimes the engine would run on after switching off. Had to stop by stalling it. He had forgotten to drain the old oil first ! There was 2 gallons in the sump, not one, it was dieseling on engine oil. Oddly enough it ran much better after draining some out. Oh how we still chuckle about that one.

agree with above - just go to local garage and ask them to suck a bit out.

Its about a cm over the dipstick level.

So i dont knw wah tthat translates to, i didn thtink i put that much in!

D5 engine oil level should be kept no higher than the 3/4 mark on the dipstick to prevent any DTCs

have you driven it ? if it drives ok, local garage. If it doesnt, a spanner and a clean washing-up bowl, pour some back in.

I have a pela (used to have a smart which was the only way to do an oil change - via dipstick) - this will sort it easily.

Although another option is to crack the sump plug drain and refill to the correct level on dipstick.
