• 10224968May 14, 2013Engine cooling. Although the correct amount of oil was added to the engine during an oil change service, a check of the oil level shows that the oil level is not okay.
• 10221941May 14, 2013Engine cooling. Although the correct amount of oil was added to the engine during an oil change service, a check of the oil level shows that the oil level is not okay.
• 10124941May 14, 2013Engine. Although the correct amount of oil was added to the engine during an oil change service, a check of the oil level shows that the oil level is not okay. When an unapproved aftermarket speed-filling device is used to add oil to the engine, the increased oil flow rate may force oil into the intake manifold or combustion chamber, creating the potential for engine damage.
