I did something ridiculous. I put too much damn oil in my car. Now it's choking white smoke out the exhaust. What should I do? Is it as simple as draining the oil from the car? Any help would be much appreciated!

how full, and how did you drive it like that. i would drain it but i dont think it will stop the problem, you may be taking off the throttle body and checking for oil. also the vehicle will only give off white smoke due to antifreeze, atf and power steering fluid, not oil.
