Oil Overfill

Looks like I slightly overfilled the oil (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch over the second dipstick dot). Anh easy way to drain off the excess oil?

FYI I have an oil boy.

1st, I don't think you're going to have a problem with the excess oil. It will just burn off.

2nd, if you have an oil boy then just pump a little oil out at a time and check the level.

Alrighty...just read some horror stories about overfills and didn't want to chance it. Thanks for the feedback.

Just for reference, how would I use the oil boy to just remove a little oil? Just pinch the tubing to stop the flow?

You could just pull the tube out from the dipstick location so it stops sucking oil out.
