    Take the filler cap off first!

    When facing resistance with the syringe, you should not have pulled it harder. Doing so will make the flexible rubber tube collapse on itself. Instead either try to pull it with less force, or with a pulsatile action (pull and release, pull and release)

      Also, pinching off the hose, disconnecting, squeezing out the air, then reconnecting should help since there will be less air to expand when pulling a vacuum.

      Pulsatile ? Interesting. That is a word. lol😂 it’s.. identical to pulsating as they’re both adjectives. It seems it’s used in tinnitus as well to describe a kind of it, which, coincidentally, I’ve felt. Anyway to your point I think he eventually did lol I was thinking of using a valve so I can turn it to stop the flow and use it to get more pressure.

    Because there was just a little too much in it and I didn't feel like draining it, I used a soap dispenser pump with a hose attached and pumped it straight into a bottle.

      Did you have to prime the pump or the hose? I am worried about taking a used soap dispenser and possibly contaminating the oil.

    Tried to find some kind of siphon or pump where a very SMALL (1/4 ) tube could be attached to that fits the very small diameter dip stick tube on my 2005 GMC Canyon. Never figured all this BS could be such a hassle. So tomorrow morning, I'm going to jack up my truck and drain the overfill into a clean oil pan and wipe the mess off my hands with a Rag...Needless ceremony ended &. job done......

    The oil flows much easier when the engine and oil are warm. Both methods work. One method just takes more time. It is much easier on a lawnmower because you can use a larger tube. Good video. Thanks.
