Not sure how you use a straw,but I do have a long pipette so will use that.
Thanks again.
It's fun. You might want to Practice this method in a cup of water to believe this technique's awesome-ness! 8)
Here ya go:
"To draw out excess oil" (or any fluid in an over-fill situation):
Insert a long (not sippy) straw into the dip stick's port till it reaches oil. Once reached, place your index finger over the straw's top and keep it there then pull the straw out quickly but carefully.
The straw will now have oil in it. Have a plastic cup in your other hand remove finger to release that oil into cup. Repeat this process till oil level is to spec

Short Story: in high school cafeteria days, my friends and I would load up green and yellow jello in our milk straws this way. Then we'd blow the jello out at our intended target. Nooo, I'm not telling yas who or what that target was :lol: Them were bratty days :oops:

Alternatively, get a 100ml syringe and a tube.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
