Default Re: after oil change, the dipstick says the oil is past "max"

Wow, I am saddened and yet relieved to hear that my dealership aren't the only morons on the planet. I have have an unbelievable series of crack-pot incidences with mine in Lubbock. They have overfilled my oil every single time. Telling them to check the dipstick seems to go in one ear and out the other.

This last time I went, I discovered they didn't even change my oil! It was black as night. I took it back up to them and gave them a piece of my mind. The service manager had the GALL to say to my face, "yes ma'am, Mobil 1 changed their formula and now it's a dark oil." Uh huh. After going round and round with him, he finally agreed to "re-change" my oil and filter.

It's been about 4k miles, and I just took a 425 mile road trip to San Antonio. After I got there, my boyfriend looked at my car. There was oil pooled down in my skid plate, and there was oil all over my engine. He checked my oil and it was ugly ugly. When he popped out my filter, it was all degrated. He decided to go ahead and change my oil himself cause he really didn't like the looks of any of this. When he crawled under my car, not only did they lose some screws to my skid plate, the drain plug fell out into his hand when he touched it. (Those of you who do it yourselves, you know that's a fairly long plug with many threads on it. )

MORONS! They did NOT change my filter, and if that drain plug had come out while I was on the highway, they'd be buying me a new engine right now! I hate these guys!! I don't trust them one bit.

Oh and last time I went in and gave them a piece of my mind, when they finally changed my oil, I noticed my computer compartment door was open. What the heck were they doing in there?? I wouldn't put it past them to "spit in my burger" since I yelled at them.
