I agree, it is a lot easier to top off than to drain excess oil. Start a quart low next time and work your way up from there. As for removing excess oil, I have a hand pump that goes through the dipstick pipe. Can't remember where I got it but it was cheap. Check JC Whitney for a cheap manual pump. That will save you a lot of time in case you overfilled.
