How to Extract Excess Engine Oil?

[DelJuliet]

Excess engine oil can be extracted using a long suction tube paired with a shampoo nozzle. The specific method is as follows: 1. Purchase a soft tube longer than the oil dipstick. With the engine cold, insert the tube into the dipstick port, connect the shampoo nozzle end to a plastic water bottle, and press the nozzle to extract the oil. Check the oil level with the dipstick once the extraction is nearly complete. 2. During an oil change, traditional gravity drainage is more reliable than oil extraction. Many vehicle models do not achieve thorough oil extraction via suction. For models with the oil filter located in the lower half of the engine, gravity drainage is the preferred method for changing both the oil and oil filter. Otherwise, even after suction, the engine guard plate would still need to be removed to replace the oil filter.
