Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Had first oil change at dealership in october. When we took the auto to another service provider they discovered the oil level of 5.8 quarts only registered below the add level on the dipstick. Upon measuring the oil removed from the vehicle, there was an extremely overfilled amount the dealer had used in order to make the dipstick register full. There is the possibility that their overfill will create future failures in the vehicle and they have refused to address the problem with a corrected dipstick or change the amount of oil recommended. …”
