1/2 Qt is NOT a problem ...
I run 1/2 more every time I track.

It is part of my pre track day set up..

MORE than 1/2 be carefull.

Rubber gloves , drain pan , and good timing ... will also fix it.
You can always put the correct amount back in.

I do have gloves etc & if you want me to do it I do drink GOOD beer

Well, I don't know exactly where in CA you are, but if you're anywhere near Monterey, you can use mine.

Thanks man...I found a local shop to do my work for free. Nice guy, and his wife owns 08 Cooper. I may end up going to his shop in the future.

What shop do you recommend?

BTW...they pumped out about 1 qt...Dang.

Where in the Bay area are you located? There are good shops to recommend in the East Bay and North Bay (I don't know about the south Bay).
