Hi. I got an Engine Oil Level Too High message...checked the level on the dipstick and sure enough it was a little above the marked range. My plan was to use a length of tubing with a syringe to siphon out the excess into a jar (also found a YouTube video which confirmed this was the way go about it). The person on the video took out the dipstick, inserted the tube and eventually extracted an amount of oil. I went ahead pushing the length of tubing down and inserted the other end to the syringe. Wasn't able to get any out and decided to put the tubing into the oil filler opening instead. Started to gently pull the tubing out but then it got stuck! What I thought would be a quick job ended up taking a (very) long time because it would not budge (was trying my best not to panic). Eventually I manuevered the dipstick behind the tubing, pushing down, and much to my relief it started to come out. Didn't have time to have another attempt and didn't want to anyway because I had to use the car and I was late for where I needed to be. Anyway, the message hasn't come back so I'm wondering if the oil level sensor was impaired (didn't have any warning message when we collected the car from where we purchased it last week).

Hi Vlad
Welcome the YETI !
I would always take the car back to the person who sold it recently with ANY problems. I’d be more suspicious that its an electrical issue with a warning light than an oil issue? Oil is vital to an engine but LOW oil warning is much more worrying. You stated that it was only slightly over filled. I am always wondering how we ascertain that the car is level enough to measure on the dipstick accurately and whether you measure cold or a few minutes after stopping a warm engine ?
Maybe the Sages on the forum could give us the definitive answer ?
