coboss said:It is ironic that this is posted just today. I just returned from my Ford dealer where I used a free oil change coupon in that my salesperson sent me for my first oil change on my 2013 with 500 miles on the clock.
CHECK YOUR OIL after ANYONE changes it. I was going to lift the hood and check mine, but then I looked on the service sheet they gave me, and right on it they said they put in 7.5 quarts of oil. The Boss, as we all should know, takes 8.5 quarts. The oil service techs do 5.0L engines all day long, and they didn't know the Boss takes 8.5 quarts, and the others take 7.5. I had to get out the Boss Supplement to the owners manual to show them, then when we checked on the stick, sure enough, it was down almost a quart.
Between this and the reported oil consumption issues, we all need to be checking our oil regularly, especially right after an oil change.
Yet *another* instance where even if you did not know what the specific fill level was required for the model in your service bay, that you would/should look up the required materials for the service. Fail 1. After performing required service and then checking for leaks, there wasn't a dipstick check? Fail 2.
All you need is for the FACTORY TRAINED TECHNICIAN to do next is go for the tri-fecta of Fail with a way too loose hand tightened oil filter or drain plug for your 45K car to require a new engine. Then your formerly numbers matching special edition car is suddenly worth a whole lot less.
For every one who says 'If you can't trust your dealer to perform an oil change...' , you go ahead and entrust your car to your dealer. After hearing about this latest episode, I will double check the fill level, and oil filter and drain plug *if* I bother with a dealer service.
