How to Reduce Oil Level Via Dipstick
1. Turn on the vehicle. Allow the vehicle to run for four to five minutes. Turn off the vehicle.
2. Open the vehicle hood. Insert the hood prop.
3. Remove the dipstick from the dipstick tube. Wipe oil from the dipstick with a rag.
4. Pinch the valve -- located on the line of a manual oil extractor -- between your thumb and index finger. Pump the extractor handle fifty times to build pressure in the extractor canister.
5. Slide the end of the extractor hose into the dipstick tube until you feel the hose hit the bottom of the oil pan. Push on the pinch valve to pull oil from the oil pan. Stop the flow of oil by pinching the valve closed.
6. Pull the extractor hose from the dipstick tube. Wipe oil from the hose with a rag. Open the pinch valve when the extractor is clear of the dipstick tube.
7. Insert the dipstick into the dipstick tube. Pull the dipstick out of the tube to check the engine oil level. Remove additional oil if the level remains high.
