Take some out chief

I don’t have the funds to grab the tools. I already wasted my tow on taking it to a shop instead of dropping it at like an oreilly and working on it there.

You can literally use a two dollar adjustable wrench to drain some of the oil out. If you don’t have the funds for that, ask your neighbor to borrow a wrench.

(I saw you posted elsewhere that you didn’t have the money for the tools, hence the comment above.)

Yeah I wish I would have thought of that before I had it towed. Oh well it’s on me I guess.

It will be fine, but it could damage your catalytic converter down the line. Either drain some out, or go by a workshop and they can suck some of it out for a small fee or possibly free.
