How far can I drive with 1 gallon too much oil?

처리 내용

You haven't wrecked the car but you should get the oil down to the appropriate level. If the oil isn't hot, almost any sort of plastic tubing can be used for siphoning. It's easiest to go in via the dip stick. Remember not to use the "suck start" siphoning method as you don't want a mouthful of oil. If you have a long enough piece of tubing, you can stick the excess down the dipstick tube, put your thumb over the end, pull out the slack (that is now full of oil) and you'll have an immediate siphon. Also remember to siphon the oil back into the original container - you might as well keep it until you do need it. My vote is that you take care of it yourself - I hate letting other people know that I made a goof, especially if I can fix it myself.
