    Hello. On the way back from a long journey, after checking the oil level in the engine, it turned out that there was too little oil, so I refilled it.
    I checked on the second day, it turned out that I poured too much and it is about 3 mm above the max. I tried to get rid of the excess oil with a hose and a syringe, I pulled it out a little, but it can't be done anymore. So I figured the best way would be to loosen the drain plug and drain the oil. The problem is that I can't do much, only what I can do is in the parking lot. Would it be a good idea to jack the car up, unscrew the wheel and get to the screw (drain plug)?

    There is a good chance that when it starts flying, you will not have time to turn and you will have all the oil on the pavement - the consequences can be painful and costly.
    The syringe (as large as possible) and a thin tube and must be pullable through the bayonet.
    Write what stroller, maybe these 3 mm will not hurt him.

    I see. Ideally, I would like to get rid of the oil after unscrewing the drain plug, but will it get to it after lifting the car on the jack and unscrewing the wheel

    Are you sure the drain plug is there?
    If the oil is drained by unscrewing the filter, it will not be easy on the jack.

    It is possible that I sucked a little oil because I had a tube of about 50 cm, is it the length you need?

    Compare with the marks on the dipstick.

    And what's your long bayonet?
    I used to take oil out of a Volvo 460 with a 4mm diameter hose (inside 2) from a supermarket, it took a while, but somehow it worked.

    I don't know how long the bayonet is. I'll check tommorow. I tried a thread with internal dimensions 4mm outside 6 mm. such as for an aquarium filter.

    You'll get ten zlotys for a drip set.

    Unfortunately, I am abroad, where even a syringe cannot be bought without a prescription

    The tube should be the minimum length of the bayonet - then it will reach the lowest point - and the diameter, if it does not reach 6, then look for 4 in the supermarket (in our stores you can get it without any problems), in total the simplest and cleanest without the risk of spilling.
    Recently, there were even electric pumps for oil change by a dipstick in lidl - I was wondering what it is worth because there are less and less public channels ...

    Hello. Colleague, go to the nearest pharmacy and ask for ref 1164000 intersurgical. These are tubes for oxygen cylinders, 180 cm long, I know because my child has it, he writes from London when I will give you a few caplets on the way. Sory but he writes from the English keyboard. greetings
    ps it is called exactly neonatal, nasal cannula curved prong tube

    Thanks. I will ask at the pharmacy. And what are the internal and external dimensions of this hose?

    If it were 3 cm, that would be a problem, but not 3 mm. Don't touch it.

    Really leave it. There is no risk that something will be damaged?
    Unless you buy such a pump https://youtu.be/AWvSOknLlI0, do not play with syringes. It is not too expensive, and maybe it will become a good thing one day

    As my colleague writes above, leave it in such a state, do not drop these 3 mm is not a problem. The state of the oil should be in the half of the min and max mark on the dipstick

    By the time you write these posts, you would have been taking out 3mm of oil with a dipstick and rag.

    I would dispose of at the waste collection point. Not that I don't want to pay, but if I can do it myself and I have a lot of free time, why not

    Can your car go uphill? What then happens to the oil? Do you really think 3mm can break something?

    I do not recommend because there were those who lost their lives in this way. For example, despite the fact that I do not have a channel, I drained the coolant in such a way that I drove to what edge so that the wheels were on the top and I could easily get to it from the bottom. only if you unscrew the cork, you can drain too much. these 3 mm should not hurt.

    No draining the plug if you lose it, you will be surprised.

    Give me chopie on hold. Even if it was 10mm, it's not a problem.

    I have such a pump and I recommend it. The oil can be easily sucked off - but you have to do it while it is still warm and thin.

    One run on the shoe and the level will level off :) seriously, 3mm is not a problem.
    3cm would be a problem.

    Hello. I sucked the oil out of the syringe

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.
