Hi!
Well I’ve a trip coming (3000km), and I changed oil and filter, right now
Point is that i added to much oil, in the final “adjusting level”
Here’s a picture
There’s a way to substrate oil other than unplug the bolt in the pan?
Can I take out oil from the top?
I don’t want to mess with the bolt under the pan cause it’s not new…..
F$&(k !

ok, i unbolt again the drain plug, and that's it.
hope it not drips
 






loosen the oil filter a little and start it up for a second would also work but would make a mess,
 






I’d drain an oil filters worth, and recheck.
