Go to WalMart or a hardware store (or better yet a FLAPS) and buy one of those cheap plastic hand pumps with tubing attached. Put the tube down the fill pipe and pump some of the oil out into a container. Take out enough that it's underfilled (is that a word?) and then refill it to the proper level. Then you can give the remaining oil and container to the FLAPS for recycling.

If the morons put a full 5 quarts in there the crank will be frothing the oil to a non-pumpable foam... Where is it on the dipstick? It would be pretty easy (with a cool engine!!) to just loosen off the oil filter a little bit and let it run down the sides of the filter for one second, then tighten it right back up again and check the level. Repeat as necessary until its down to the full mark... Good luck, Jake
