Default Removal of excess oil 2006 911/997 c4 carrera

Can someone suggest a method using a pump to extract oil form the oil filler tube. Thank you. Bill H Montgomery, AL

1/4 inch to 5/16 clear tubing from Lowe’s and a plastic tapered tip old fashion ketchup or mustard bottle.

I used to get the overfill warning after an oil change when it would get hot at the track. Dial it in with removal from the filler tube. On the 991 the warning bar is only about 100-200 cc from full to overfull. Crazy and we all know with 8 quarts of oil this is a ridiculous tolerance.

It’s good for about 100 cc’s at a time.
