Well, I did it. I took the car to the dealer for an oil change and they did NOT overfill it! It states taht 3.9 quarts were added on the receipt and the oil is right at the top hash of the dipstick. Perfect.
However, I do have a couple concerns that I hope some of you can relieve.
1. There were oil beads on the bottom of my car. It doesn't seem severe and I drove my car for 20+ miles after the oil change and the oil light didn't come on so I'm assuming there is no leak. Do you think they were just sloppy in removing the oil filter causing oil to drip everywhere or might it be more serious than that?
2. I've heard a lot about some belly pan that is a pain in the butt to remove and replace to get to the drain plug. Is there an easy way to tell if it was reinstalled properly by the dealer? I looked under the car and saw that the big plastic piece that covers the bottom of the engine is there but it seems a bit loose. There even seems to be a a screw sticking through one of the holes in the plastic but all you see is the threads and there is no nut attached to it. Cause for concern?
Thanks
