Is there a way to remove oil from my engine without removing the oil drain plug or filter?

I added too much oil by mistake. Is there a way to suction some oil out?Is there a way to remove oil from my engine without removing the oil drain plug or filter?

I think Walmart might have a pump for changing oil in a motor. It might be in the boating section.


Or you could go to a boat store and get on there.
Good news: all you need to do is to use the same procedure used for removing oil from marine engines, which usually have inadequate clearance betwen the oil pan and the vessel's hull for normal oil draining. That is, insert a length of thin vinyl tubing down the dipstick tube and suck the oil out with an inexpensive manual pump available for this purpose from marine suppliers -- also usually found in the marine section of large discount stores like Wal-Mart.





Good luck!
just remove the drain plug and start all over, this time add the right amount.do not run the engine if its overflowed, its worse than being underfilled
