Use the drain plug to remove some. There are videos on youtube. Simples.

Reckon it’ll be okay just to remove the plug then and let a bit out?

Undertray off then locate the Hex sump plug bolt.
Undo it and the oil will come out but it’ll be messy draining a little off.

Not unless you buy a oil extractor that can go into the dipstick tube......

I'd usually replace the sump nut and washer whenever taking it out, even to drain a little, as they are single use IIRC

how much over max mark 1mm, 2mm ?

Just had a second opinion from a mate of mine who is a mechanic and he said it’s nothing to worry about. It’s still on the dipstick where max is, just slightly above on the plastic bit before the metal shaft. He did a short dip after taking it out and putting it back in quickly and it was between the lines.

When it’s placed back in the tube and taken out after a few seconds it’s literally bang on the max mark.
