Depends on how much you over filled it? :huh: It can get burnt off, blow oil seals due to over pressure, buggers up the cat :( can kill the engine :o a long time ago a mate of mines dad told him to check the oil on his mini and fill it up if it was low! it was low :unsure: so he filled it :o to the neck of the cap on the rocker cover :o luckily his dad saw the empty oil containers before they started the car :lol: to this day we still rip the P### out of him for that one :lol:

as for removeing the excess oil try and syphon it though the dip stick shaft, you get pumps for this from some auto part stores :)

would that allow for a massive balls up if he dropped something down the dip stick pipe?

not if you use the correct tool, Smart cars dont have a sump plug so they drain the oil via the dip stick as do several of the fast fit garages :unsure:

Cheap and easy way to change your oil via the dip stick tube. Hoses supplied. Simply place suction hose over dipstick tube with second hose into collection container and pull & pump plunger handle.

Jeez VR but the dipstick tube doesn't go the whole way down to the base of the sump!
