Life saving brilliant method💯

[@KofiAsabereAnnoh]

That’s cool bro. appreciate that.

[@alphonsuswynston-thurston521]

Please sir thank you for letting me know about this I know it will take me a long way again thank you.

[@ThoNguyen-uv2ko]

Thankyou so much

I bought a small 12v oil pump from lidl, specifically for this purpose. Comes with inlet and outlet tubes, and crock clips to connect direct to battery. Works great , good for full oil change too.

I wanted to try this, but not wait a week for delivery. Chris Notap has a video showing how to use a shop vac to extract fluids, but that didn't get enough. I bought a venturi pump from Harbor Freight and that left about 9oz (266ml). Then I overfilled by a quart (. 946l) I used the venturi pump again, ran it for several minutes, and it hardly removed everything, but I was already late visiting a friend with stage 4 cancer 164 miles (264 km) away, in the Phoenix area. I hoped it wouldn't do too much damage and I could take care of it after seeing my friend. Amazon seemed to say that it would deliver a pump to a locker within a few hours, but as soon as I ordered it, it said it won't arrive until tonight, and I need to fix this and drive back for work right now.

I like to write on plastic radiator cover in silver marker the amount of oil car takes, viscosity, oil filter model number, and drain plug wrench size saves a lot of running around and looking things up. but i still had garages just throw in 4 quarts even though it only takes 3.4 when i didn't want to do my own oil change mid-winter. I have a oil remover suction tool that has a pump like a bike pump and a cylinder that holds about a gallon you could actually suck all oil out and replace it without crawling under car of course you would still have oil in filter.

[@trhippy4442]

Where am I getting a massive syringe from when I've done this at a roadside petrol station please haha

[@williambelford9661]

I have a 9l vacuum pump I use when doing oil changes and used it to remove 4 litres of excess oil from my partner's car which had been grossly overfilled by her cousin who is actually a marine engineer 🤔

[@conorfleming6580]

I had to get a new Oil sensor for my Car today

[@rain7096]

👍

[@banditman1200s]

What a great way to remove excessive oil without removing sump plug could you tell me what size tubing you used thanks

[@ranger178]

you can use something small like 3/16 whatever fits on syringe and goes in dipstick tube.

[@eeemuse]

most cars, specially germans since 2010 don't have a dipstick or even a dipstick tube anyway!

[@peekeyeseek]

I'M the DIPSTICK that put toooooo much oil in my car. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@andrewtoombs3867]

will the oil color change if there is too much? I have a volvo 05 v50 t5, and it is very possible I over filled by 1/2 quart. The land the car is parked on is a small light angle, which makes getting a straight level gauging impossible. I am getting a coffee bubble color, which leads me to suspect a head gasket issue, but it could be something like a bad PCV system. The car has just under 200k miles. When I discovered the change in oil color in the oil cap, but not the dip stick, I stop driving the car. Any advice you have, I like to know

[@Castrol_UK]

Did you ever have problems with your car engine oil level?

[@jamsstar2010]

As an independent tech I have problems with cars with no dipsticks, had a car in the other day that was over filled by a main dealer ,with no dipstick you're limited with syringing it out 😂

[@williamjeffersonjamalphill4389]

I accidentally put way too much engine in my car and then BiG buff of blue smoke and then a loss of power. I pulled over straight away. So iv not driven at lenth like this, but im bricking it now, lol Do I simply need to reduce the oil level, or is this a sign of more damage. Any advice most appreciated. Is there a clear indicator that something else is wrong after this that I should watch/listen out for? Thank you

[@victorinobunan6423]

how do you check the engine oil on the dipstick properly? in the morning or after 5 to 10 minutes after turning off the engine?

[@williambelford9661]

Either as long as the car is sitting on a level surface.

[@davidallen513]

Can you recommend a syringe kit for this job?

[@robinsongalaxie500]

Same; where to pick up this giant syringe please? Good bit of kit to have on the shelf…..

My engine holds 4.4 l and when I had it changed they put in the whole container which was 4.71 liters is this to much over?

[@TheDunestrider]

Yes

[@mvonxele307]

I put too much oil on polo classic 1.9 tdi and the engine won't start, it's only cranks and that's all. If I remove oil to the right level ,will the engine go to normal starting.

[@Castrol_UK]

Hi and thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately it's too difficult to say what is happening without physically inspecting the vehicle. We would advise bringing a mechanic to look at it, as they will know better where is the problem. Thank you again, hope this helps and fingers crossed 🤞 ^ Team Castrol

[@colincressey4647]

I tried to do in this yes got oil out of my car but to find the car wouldn’t start after

[@Castrol_UK]

I put too much oil, car shut off i immodestly realized it and drained the whole thing and added new oil. Audi a5 takes 5.5q but once I did all that car started puffing out lot of white smoke. What should I do now? Should I let it burn the access oil? I want to know if it will clear by time.

[@Castrol_UK]

Good afternoon Kurban, can I please confirm your location so, I can tansfer you to the correct team? Thank you, Paulina - Team Castrol

Bagahahah this is almost as worse as saying you gotta ev bro.

How do you do this if the engine doesn’t have a dipstick?

[@Castrol_UK]

Hi Lee, Thank you for your comment 😊 On cars without a dipstick, the engine oil level is read via a level sensor - hope that helps. Paulina - Team Castrol
