Default What's the easiest way to drain just a little bit of oil?
Overfilled by a half qt. Don't want to keep driving on this.

The oil plug is a binary thing right? Either it's off or on - no seepage? Can I loosen the filter and let some seep out that way?

if you are good you can use the plug... messy but effective.
