I know, I'm dumb. I've tried to siphon out some oil from the dipstick hole but the hand pump is pretty weak (or maybe it's just me). The dipstick level is a tiny bit over the "full" line. It's like 1/2cm over. Should I go through the trouble of opening up the drain bolt again and probably making a big fat mess? Or should I just live with it? Does anyone have any experiences? I can't be the only moron that has done this...

I would remove the drain just a bit for safety. Just hold a water bottle under there.20% Accurate
Morty: Well Summer maybe people that create things aren’t concerned with your delicate sensibilities you know? Maybe the species that communicate with each other through a filter of your comfort are less evolved that the ones that just communicate? Maybe your problems are your own to deal with and maybe the public giving a shit about your feelings is a one way ticket to extinction.

Thanks for the replies guys. I decided to just sell the whole car so I wouldn't have to deal with whatever tragedy comes from adding .5 exrta quarts. I'll let the next guy worry about it... the poor sucker will never know!
