Where to siphon oil from my 2017 GTS

Hello,

Where on the GTS do you siphon oil if the car was overfilled? The dipstick tube or the oil fill tube or somewhere else? And has anyone have any tips to do this?

Thanks,
Cabut

It's under warranty so take it back to the dealer so there is a record of the overage and they set the new level.

They can do it while you wait.

I did overfill and I'm 60 miles from the dealer. I have to do this myself.
So do I extract the oil from the dipstick tube or somewhere else? Nothing in the owners manual regarding this.

Thanks,
Cabut

Just siphon it from the dipstick opening, use a manual hand siphon pump not a powered one.

Thanks, I just siphoned the quart I put in, out through the dipstick tube.
Fairly easy!

Best,
Cabut
