Hello, all -
I had a problem with an oil change last week. The day after the oil change, I noticed an oil leak under the engine. I checked the dipstick and the oil was way over the limit. It was a Sunday, and I didn't want to take time off the next day to take it back to the dealer. I decided to drain some oil.
Second problem - when I put the socket to the drain plug to check if it was the right size, I discovered the drain plug was loose to the touch, explaining the oil on the floor. I drained oil and checked the dipstick, until finally I had to drain 4 quarts to bring it to the correct level.
It looks like they did not drain any oil, and probably did not remove the filter, then added 4 quarts.
I drove 40 miles on this before discovering the overfill. I know the damage that can be done to the engine, would you say that driving 40 or 50 miles is enough to cause damage?
Thanks -
