Engine Oil Overfill Removal

Im sure this tip must have been mentioned before, but If you are unfortunate enough to overfill your oil - rather than risk messing up a drain plug seal by undoing it to remove surplus oil just simply get the plunger top with pipe off a handwash bottle (clean it first) and put pipe into casing and pump surplus oil into handwash bottle and dispose responsibly

Re: Engine Oil Overfill Removal

Colin having changed my oil every 2.5k for the last 40k + miles I have NEVER changed the seal on the bolt! It's never leaked either.
