in general, if you have 3 mm above the condition, it is not a gag. Even if you have 3 mm above the maximum, it is also ok, and if you want to remove excess oil, it is best through the drain plug.

There is a faster and more painless method. In cars that have an external, can-type oil filter on a cold engine, you unscrew the filter, pour the oil out of it, e.g. into a milk bottle, screw in the filter, and after the fun. You just need to make sure that the filter gasket and the contact area on the block has been cleaned and the gasket lubricated with a few drops of oil. Both the oil and the bottle will be accepted for free at the local "recycling center" if the flag in the profile still matches the place of residence.

It's a good idea to gently unscrew the drain plug until the oil is oozing, this way you will drop as much as you want.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user who accidentally overfilled the engine oil in a Toyota Celica VVTI by 3 mm above the maximum level. Various methods to remove the excess oil are suggested, including using a syringe and tubing to extract oil through the dipstick hole, creating a pressure difference with a hose, or loosening the drain plug. Concerns about potential oil spillage and the feasibility of accessing the drain plug while the car is jacked up are raised. Ultimately, it is advised that 3 mm of excess oil is not critical, and the user successfully removed the excess oil using a syringe and tubing.
