Okay my missus decided she would be fine to fill the oil in her 83 corrolla... anyway she put way too much in... I've heard this is very bad for the engine... is there any way to drain it? easily? It doesn't matter too much... its a corolla

Thats about the only way. If she put in an extra 2litres just get a 3litre conmtainer and stop when its 2/3 full then lower the car and recheck/fill as necessary. Dont drive it like that though.

Drive around without the oil cap on, that'd be pretty quick...maybe a little risky though

How much extra has she put in?

Check how tight the oil filter is and take that off and put it back on that will get rid of a bit you can do it 3 or 4 times just make sure you start the car between taking tit on and off.

Option 2 is go into a big garage like Toyota and ask them to vacum some of it out thriough the dip stick tube. Yes thats how the newer/bigger dealerships change oil.

If you got a brake fluid sucker, you could feed that down the dip stick tube and suck it out, if you don't just undo the sump plug and refit it quickly as mentioned before.
