What I/we don't know is, after YOU topped off the oil and assured the pan was full, how many miles did it take to burn ANOTHER quart of oil?
If you've mentioned this and I missed it, my apologies-- if not, my point is simply this: did those who changed your oil actually fill it? As I mentioned in my prior post, more than once immediately after an oil change I've found the level to be low....
See my post #42.
I check dipsticks on all our cars after an oil change. I'm concerned about overfilling too as we had an issue with that 13 years ago in other cars. I didn't check oil at all in the new car until after the first oil change at the dealer.
