I was a dumba$$ last night and checked the dipstick while the car was still up on jack stands. I spent nearly an hour this morning siphoning out about 1/2 Qt. of oil

The only thing I found that would work to siphon was some narrow hard plastic tubing I had for my refrigerator water connection. It worked well, it was just slow as Mu's sperm

Good news, though, the first 1/4 Qt. of the siphoned oil was black and nasty and must have been the leftover oil that isn't able to drain from the pan

The remaining oil I removed looked much cleaner. I left it at the high mark on the dipstick so I could probably stand to get rid of a bit more. However, I don't really have the time this week. Does anyone think it's critical enough that I make time to siphon some more?

I am ready -- waiting for an HR call at 8 AM so I can go through the 3/4" stack of paperwork and get oriented. Then I am off and running -- three deals already on my plate for the next few weeks.

Funny you should mention the tire pressure issue - we basically just had our first cold spell of the year (it got down below 50F

). One of our friends who came by to visit yesterday while I was doing the oil change asked about her TPMS light that just came on. All four tires measured 25-27 psi when they're supposed to be 35 psi, so I took care of that for her.

I let it ride when I was a bit over the High mark. Don't think there were any reprecussions but I'm not as smart under the hood as you guys. I'm of no use, sorry.

Morning all. Make time good!
