Re: too much engine oil for about0.8litre
Put car on jackstands. Remove oil drainplug. Quickly replace. Check level. Problem solved.
You don't want to have too much oil. A little excess won't hurt anything, but the SVX is already an oil pig, needing 6.5L of oil, so now you're at 7.3 or so, which is a hell of a lot. When you overfill the oil too far, it will get to the point that the crank is splashing in it as it turns, which will foam it, reducing effectiveness (air pockets all over the place).

If you don't want to get under the car you can just poke the dipstick in and out, wiping it off between pokings until you have removed the 0.8 liters.

Re: too much engine oil for about0.8litre
Note, this procedure may take a little while longer. 7 or 8 years longer.

Re: too much engine oil for about0.8litre
That's not too bad then, I've usually put about 6.5L in during oil changes, depending how long I let it drain for.
